Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a T cell lymphoma characterized by large anaplastic cells with diffuse and uniform CD30 reactivity. Here, we report a patient with no prior implant history who developed anaplastic lymphoma kinase-1-negative ALCL within a burn cicatrix on a breast. We hypothesize that the chronic inflammation caused by burn injury and the patient's history of immunosuppression secondary to organ transplantation may have contributed to development of ALCL in this patient. This report supports the essential role of chronic inflammation in the development of ALCL in the breast. Level of Evidence: 5. © 2019 The Aesthetic Society.
