"Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research is at present a well-known Indian originated scientific journal which started with a humble beginning. I have been associated with this journal since many years. I appreciate the Editor, Dr. Hemant Jain, for his constant effort in bringing up this journal to the present status right from the scratch. The journal is multidisciplinary. It encourages in publishing the scientific articles from postgraduates and also the beginners who start their career. At the same time the journal also caters for the high quality articles from specialty and super-specialty researchers. Hence it provides a platform for the scientist and researchers to publish. The other aspect of it is, the readers get the information regarding the most recent developments in science which can be used for teaching, research, treating patients and to some extent take preventive measures against certain diseases. The journal is contributing immensely to the society at national and international level."

" Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR) is a multi-specialty medical and dental journal publishing high quality research articles in almost all branches of medicine. The quality of printing of figures and tables is excellent and comparable to any International journal. An added advantage is nominal publication charges and monthly issue of the journal and more chances of an article being accepted for publication. Moreover being a multi-specialty journal an article concerning a particular specialty has a wider reach of readers of other related specialties also. As an author and reviewer for several years I find this Journal most suitable and highly recommend this Journal."

Dr. Mamta Gupta,
"It gives me great pleasure to be associated with JCDR, since last 2-3 years. Since then I have authored, co-authored and reviewed about 25 articles in JCDR. I thank JCDR for giving me an opportunity to improve my own skills as an author and a reviewer.
It 's a multispecialty journal, publishing high quality articles. It gives a platform to the authors to publish their research work which can be available for everyone across the globe to read. The best thing about JCDR is that the full articles of all medical specialties are available as pdf/html for reading free of cost or without institutional subscription, which is not there for other journals. For those who have problem in writing manuscript or do statistical work, JCDR comes for their rescue.
The journal has a monthly publication and the articles are published quite fast. In time compared to other journals. The on-line first publication is also a great advantage and facility to review one's own articles before going to print. The response to any query and permission if required, is quite fast; this is quite commendable. I have a very good experience about seeking quick permission for quoting a photograph (Fig.) from a JCDR article for my chapter authored in an E book. I never thought it would be so easy. No hassles.
Reviewing articles is no less a pain staking process and requires in depth perception, knowledge about the topic for review. It requires time and concentration, yet I enjoy doing it. The JCDR website especially for the reviewers is quite user friendly. My suggestions for improving the journal is, more strict review process, so that only high quality articles are published. I find a a good number of articles in Obst. Gynae, hence, a new journal for this specialty titled JCDR-OG can be started. May be a bimonthly or quarterly publication to begin with. Only selected articles should find a place in it.
An yearly reward for the best article authored can also incentivize the authors. Though the process of finding the best article will be not be very easy. I do not know how reviewing process can be improved. If an article is being reviewed by two reviewers, then opinion of one can be communicated to the other or the final opinion of the editor can be communicated to the reviewer if requested for. This will help one’s reviewing skills.
My best wishes to Dr. Hemant Jain and all the editorial staff of JCDR for their untiring efforts to bring out this journal. I strongly recommend medical fraternity to publish their valuable research work in this esteemed journal, JCDR".

"I wish to thank Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), for asking me to write up few words.
Writing is the representation of language in a textual medium i e; into the words and sentences on paper. Quality medical manuscript writing in particular, demands not only a high-quality research, but also requires accurate and concise communication of findings and conclusions, with adherence to particular journal guidelines. In medical field whether working in teaching, private, or in corporate institution, everyone wants to excel in his / her own field and get recognised by making manuscripts publication.


Authors are the souls of any journal, and deserve much respect. To publish a journal manuscripts are needed from authors. Authors have a great responsibility for producing facts of their work in terms of number and results truthfully and an individual honesty is expected from authors in this regards. Both ways its true "No authors-No manuscripts-No journals" and "No journals–No manuscripts–No authors". Reviewing a manuscript is also a very responsible and important task of any peer-reviewed journal and to be taken seriously. It needs knowledge on the subject, sincerity, honesty and determination. Although the process of reviewing a manuscript is a time consuming task butit is expected to give one's best remarks within the time frame of the journal.
Salient features of the JCDR: It is a biomedical, multidisciplinary (including all medical and dental specialities), e-journal, with wide scope and extensive author support. At the same time, a free text of manuscript is available in HTML and PDF format. There is fast growing authorship and readership with JCDR as this can be judged by the number of articles published in it i e; in Feb 2007 of its first issue, it contained 5 articles only, and now in its recent volume published in April 2011, it contained 67 manuscripts. This e-journal is fulfilling the commitments and objectives sincerely, (as stated by Editor-in-chief in his preface to first edition) i e; to encourage physicians through the internet, especially from the developing countries who witness a spectrum of disease and acquire a wealth of knowledge to publish their experiences to benefit the medical community in patients care. I also feel that many of us have work of substance, newer ideas, adequate clinical materials but poor in medical writing and hesitation to submit the work and need help. JCDR provides authors help in this regards.
Timely publication of journal: Publication of manuscripts and bringing out the issue in time is one of the positive aspects of JCDR and is possible with strong support team in terms of peer reviewers, proof reading, language check, computer operators, etc. This is one of the great reasons for authors to submit their work with JCDR. Another best part of JCDR is "Online first Publications" facilities available for the authors. This facility not only provides the prompt publications of the manuscripts but at the same time also early availability of the manuscripts for the readers.
Indexation and online availability: Indexation transforms the journal in some sense from its local ownership to the worldwide professional community and to the public.JCDR is indexed with Embase & EMbiology, Google Scholar, Index Copernicus, Chemical Abstracts Service, Journal seek Database, Indian Science Abstracts, to name few of them. Manuscriptspublished in JCDR are available on major search engines ie; google, yahoo, msn.
In the era of fast growing newer technologies, and in computer and internet friendly environment the manuscripts preparation, submission, review, revision, etc and all can be done and checked with a click from all corer of the world, at any time. Of course there is always a scope for improvement in every field and none is perfect. To progress, one needs to identify the areas of one's weakness and to strengthen them.
It is well said that "happy beginning is half done" and it fits perfectly with JCDR. It has grown considerably and I feel it has already grown up from its infancy to adolescence, achieving the status of standard online e-journal form Indian continent since its inception in Feb 2007. This had been made possible due to the efforts and the hard work put in it. The way the JCDR is improving with every new volume, with good quality original manuscripts, makes it a quality journal for readers. I must thank and congratulate Dr Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief JCDR and his team for their sincere efforts, dedication, and determination for making JCDR a fast growing journal.
Every one of us: authors, reviewers, editors, and publisher are responsible for enhancing the stature of the journal. I wish for a great success for JCDR."

Dr. Shankar P.R.

"On looking back through my Gmail archives after being requested by the journal to write a short editorial about my experiences of publishing with the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), I came across an e-mail from Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor, in March 2007, which introduced the new electronic journal. The main features of the journal which were outlined in the e-mail were extensive author support, cash rewards, the peer review process, and other salient features of the journal.
Over a span of over four years, we (I and my colleagues) have published around 25 articles in the journal. In this editorial, I plan to briefly discuss my experiences of publishing with JCDR and the strengths of the journal and to finally address the areas for improvement.
My experiences of publishing with JCDR: Overall, my experiences of publishing withJCDR have been positive. The best point about the journal is that it responds to queries from the author. This may seem to be simple and not too much to ask for, but unfortunately, many journals in the subcontinent and from many developing countries do not respond or they respond with a long delay to the queries from the authors 1. The reasons could be many, including lack of optimal secretarial and other support. Another problem with many journals is the slowness of the review process. Editorial processing and peer review can take anywhere between a year to two years with some journals. Also, some journals do not keep the contributors informed about the progress of the review process. Due to the long review process, the articles can lose their relevance and topicality. A major benefit with JCDR is the timeliness and promptness of its response. In Dr Jain's e-mail which was sent to me in 2007, before the introduction of the Pre-publishing system, he had stated that he had received my submission and that he would get back to me within seven days and he did!
Most of the manuscripts are published within 3 to 4 months of their submission if they are found to be suitable after the review process. JCDR is published bimonthly and the accepted articles were usually published in the next issue. Recently, due to the increased volume of the submissions, the review process has become slower and it ?? Section can take from 4 to 6 months for the articles to be reviewed. The journal has an extensive author support system and it has recently introduced a paid expedited review process. The journal also mentions the average time for processing the manuscript under different submission systems - regular submission and expedited review.
Strengths of the journal: The journal has an online first facility in which the accepted manuscripts may be published on the website before being included in a regular issue of the journal. This cuts down the time between their acceptance and the publication. The journal is indexed in many databases, though not in PubMed. The editorial board should now take steps to index the journal in PubMed. The journal has a system of notifying readers through e-mail when a new issue is released. Also, the articles are available in both the HTML and the PDF formats. I especially like the new and colorful page format of the journal. Also, the access statistics of the articles are available. The prepublication and the manuscript tracking system are also helpful for the authors.
Areas for improvement: In certain cases, I felt that the peer review process of the manuscripts was not up to international standards and that it should be strengthened. Also, the number of manuscripts in an issue is high and it may be difficult for readers to go through all of them. The journal can consider tightening of the peer review process and increasing the quality standards for the acceptance of the manuscripts. I faced occasional problems with the online manuscript submission (Pre-publishing) system, which have to be addressed.
Overall, the publishing process with JCDR has been smooth, quick and relatively hassle free and I can recommend other authors to consider the journal as an outlet for their work."

Abstract

This case report highlights the important imaging findings in a case of primary breast lymphoma; encountered in an elderly lady who noticed a painless progressive swelling of her left breast in the absence of any skin or nipple changes. As Clinical and Imaging features of this rare entity are non-specific, it must always be considered as a possible differential. Although Immunohistochemistry confirms the diagnosis of lymphoma, only after the whole body imaging can other lesions be ruled out and primary breast lymphoma be truly labeled.

Primary Breast Lymphoma, Imaging, Radiology, Pathology, Mammography

Introduction
Primary Breast Lymphoma is a condition in which only breast out of the entire body is affected by lymphoma (1). It is a rare entity and accounts for only 0.15% of all the malignant breast lesions (2), (3). In breasts, the B-cell lymphoma is reported to be more prevalent than the T-cell lymphomas (4), (5), (6). Secondary Breast Lymphomas are those lymphomas in breast that are detected after initial diagnosis of lymphoma anywhere else in the body (7). Although the exact aetiology is still understood (8), chronic infection, immune suppression, environmental exposures to ionizing radiation and hereditary traits are the proposed risk factors (8), (9). The rarity of primary breast lymphoma (PBL) when compared with other organs (10), (11) is believed to be due to the fact that there is only small amount of lymphoid tissue in the breasts. PBL being a rare entity, the imaging features in one such case are presented here for the benefit of one and all.

Case Report

A 70-year-female was referred for mammography. She had complaints of painless progressive swelling in entire left breast since the past 6 months. The involved breast appeared diffusely swollen on inspection (Table/Fig 1). The overlying skin was shiny and few prominent vessels could be seen over it. The nipple was not retracted. No secretions could be expressed from this breast. On palpation the entire left breast was firm and non tender. X- ray mammography (Table/Fig 2) showed a large radio-opaque mass occupying the left breast. Another smaller radio-opacity was also seen along the left axillary tail. The skin was not thickened. Sonomammography (Table/Fig 3) demonstrated diffuse, a welldefined hypoechoic mass having distinct echogenic margins and without any posterior acoustic shadowing. An enlarged axillary node was also seen. Color Doppler showed prominent vessels coursing through this mass (Table/Fig 4). No necrosis or calcifications were seen. The ducts were not dilated. Mammographic features of this mass were not specific for any single aetiology and a provisional diagnosis of suspicious neoplastic mass (BIRADS category 3) was put forth.Whole body Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) did not demonstrate any other mass lesions in the body, apart from the abnormal hyper intense signal in left breast (Table/Fig 5) as demonstrated on coronal short tau inversion recovery (STIR) image.Histopathological imaging (Table/Fig 6) showed sheets of lymphoid cells few showing mitoses. The Haematoxylin and Eosin stained breast biopsy section demonstrated mitotic pleomorphic round cells with vesicular nuclei. Immunohistochemistry (Table/Fig 7) showed CD 20 marker expression typical of B-cell lymphomas. The membranes of the pleomorphic round lymphoid cells demonstrate the positive staining. The diagnosis of B-cell lymphomas was thus established. PBL was finally labeled as whole body MRI imaging did not demonstrate any other mass lesions in the body.

Discussion

It is a challenge to diagnosis primary versus secondary extranodal lymphoma (12). Wiseman and Liao in 1972 originally suggested following criteria for labeling PBL (13) which are now accepted as the standard (11):
1. The availability of adequate pathology material.
2. Both mammary tissue and lymphomatous infiltrate are present.
3. No widespread disease or preceding extramammary lymphoma.
4. Ipsilateral axillary node involvement is considered acceptable. On the contrary, secondary breast lymphomas are more common and usually present with simultaneous disease in the breast and extra mammary organs or as multiple breast lesions in a diagnosed case of lymphoma (12). WHO classifies malignant lymphomas of the breast as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, extranodal marginal-zone-B-cell lymphoma of MALT type, and follicular type (12). PBL are usually non-Hodgkin with a B-cell lineage (14). Although PBL is seen between 9-85 years (15), for non-Hodgkin breast lymphoma the median age of onset is 58 years (16), (17). Males as well as females are reported to suffer from it (18). The upper outer quadrant of breast is the most commonly affected site (12), (15). It is usually unilateral, and bilateral presentation is reported in up to 10 % (12), (15) cases. There is a right sided predominance (12), (15). Our patient was an elderly female and had diffuse unilateral breast involvement. Patients usually present with a painless breast mass, a quarter of which are painful (19). Inflammatory skin change and overlying skin fixation may be encountered (12), (20). Nipple or skin retraction or discharge is uncommon (19). Although axillary lymphadenopathy may be seen in PBL, it should arouse suspicion of the presence of a secondary lymphoma (14). The case reported by us presented with painless progressive swelling without any overlying skin or nipple changes. Mammographic findings of PBL are not characteristic and diagnostic (19). Presentation may either be as well circumscribed mass or as diffuse infiltration (14), (17). On X-ray mammogram they are of high density (21). Diffusely increased parenchymal density with or without skin thickening may also be seen (12), (14), (19). Microcalcification and spiculation are rare (17). In the case described by us, a radio-opaque density was seen to involve entire left breast. No calcifications were present. Sonographic features are non-specific and are limited to confirming the presence of a solid mass (19). On sonomammography the lesions may be focal or diffuse, well-defined or poorly defined, and hypo or hyperechoic. Hypervascularity may be demonstrated in it (12), (21). Echogenic margins are reported (12), (21). No posterior acoustic shadowing is seen (12). The patient reported by us had diffuse hypoechoic mass without any posterior acoustic shadowing and it had echogenic margins. Vascularity was demonstrated in it. Radiation therapy can be used to provide effective local control or may be adjuvant to chemotherapy. Surgical treatment ranging from biopsy to radical mastectomy is often not indicated (17), (20). As PBL is rare, treatments have varied. PBL is not a surgical disease and can be treated successfully with combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy (21).Therefore exact prognosis is difficult to determine (19).

Conclusion

PBL is a very rare disease. Clinical and Imaging features are non-specific and hence PBL must be considered as a possible diagnosis when dealing with non specific breast masses. Biopsy for Histopathological analysis and Immunohistochemistry along with whole body imaging to rule out any other lesions is essential for final confirmation.
