Primary Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma of the Breast: A Rare Case of Breast Location

Abstract

Primary malignant lymphomas of the breast are rare, it represents less than 0.5% of all breast cancers. In this work we report an observation of primary non-Hodgkin malignant lymphoma of the breast with a review of the literature of epidemiological, clinical, histological and therapeutic aspects. Their clinical presentation is diverse. Imaging is non- specific, which can resemble all other types of breast cancer. The diagnosis can be evoked on cytological examination, its confirmation is always histological. The occurrence of non-Hodgkin malignant lymphoma requires a rigorous assessment of extension in the search for other primary localizations. Prognosis and treatment are similar to those of other lymphomatosis localizations.
