ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of primary breast lymphoma(PBL).Methods Clinical data of 49 PBL cases diagnosed in our center from 1997 to 2011 was retrospectively analyzed.Results 1 case was male,48 cases were female.Most patients were at the age of 35-55 years.Painless mass was the most common symptom which was most often seen on the upper-outer quadrant of the right breast,accounting for 61.11% in this group.Preoperative misdiagnosis rate was high by mammography,B ultrasonic and hollow needle pathologic examination.Final diagnosis could only made by postoperative histopathologic examination.In this group 1 case was Hodgkin lymphoma and 48 cases were non-Hodgkin lymphoma(NHL) originating from B cells.46 patients underwent surgery and chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy in 16 cases.Median time of follow up was 40 months,5-year overall and disease free survival was 48% and 28% respectively,and bone marrow was the most common metastatic organ.Conclusions The prognosis of PBL is poor.The image diagnosis lacks specificity.Paraffin sections and immunohistochemistry were the main means to make a definite diagnosis.Chemotherapy-based comprehensive treatment is the strategy in the management of PBL instead of radical mastectomy.
