ABSTRACT
The authors report a case of primary breast lymphoma in a 29-year-old female patient. The patient had a growing, nontender, palpable mass in the left breast. Film-screen mammogram showed a sharply marginated mass with a thin perimeter of radiolucency, halo and slight lobulation.Sonography revealed a well marginated hypoechoic mass with posterior acoustic enhancement. The patient had undergone wide excision of mass and ipsilateral axillary dissection. Histologic examination and immuno-histochemistry confirmed a diagnosis of diffuse B-cell type non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Abdominal ultrasonography, thoracic computed tomography and bone scan, checked postoperatively, showed non-specific findings. We concluded a final diagnosis of primary breast lymphoma, and report the case with a brief review of the literatures.
