Abstract

Breast lymphomas are quite rare extranodal lymphomas. They constitute a very small percentage of malignant tumors of the breast and a little subset of extranodal lymphomas. We report a case of primary mammary non-Hodgkin lymphoma in an 18 year old lady. FNAC was inconclusive and incisional biopsy confirmed primary breast lymphoma which was diagnosed as the diffuse large B-cell type; Non – Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She has complete disease remission to chemotherapy and also on follow-up. In conclusion, it is mandatory for clinician assessing breast mass to recognize this disease entity as a potential differential diagnosis and to do core biopsy so as to exclude PBL before appropriate treatment.
