Primary Breast Lymphoma: A Case Report

Abstract

Kundana Rayamajhi, Richa Bansal and Bharat Aggarwal

Primary breast lymphomas are a very rare group of breast malignancies and account for 2.2% of all extra nodal lymphomas and for 0.04% to 0.5% of malignant breast neoplasms. Most of the cases are diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma with T-cell, MALT and Burkett’s Lymphoma being further uncommon. Imaging findings in lymphoma are nonspecific and whole body imaging is an essential part of the workup to rule out disease in other parts of the body and to be labelled as primary breast lymphoma. Here we present a rare case of primary B-cell lymphoma involving bilateral breasts and presenting as multiple nodular masses.
