Abstract
Background Primary lymphomas of the breast (PBNHL) are uncommon and exclusive to the elderly. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of these malignancies can be relevant in establishing the extent of the disease and planning the appropriate therapeutic strategy, usually represented by chemo-and radiotherapy, rather than surgery. The purpose of this study is to assess MRI features of PBNHL.
