Abstract
A 63-year-old woman noted several masses in her left axilla in January 1994. They were found to be enlarged lymph nodes measuring 4 to 5cm in diameter. There was no palpable nodule in the left breast. Echography revealed several lymph nodes in the C-C' region of the left breast, and modified radical mastectomy was performed on suspicion of primary malignant lymphoma of the breast. Pathological examination showed invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast measuring 0.9×0.5cm associated with Hodgikin's disease of the left axilla.
