Pregnancy-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma of the breast: a rare mimic of ductal carcinoma.

abstract：:Tuberculous and fungal infections are among the non-neoplastic lesions of the lung, in which fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has proven to be a useful technique in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. The presence of polymicrobial infection in a renal transplant recipient is documented in the li...
