Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is a rare malignancy. This case report details a multifocal PBL presentation and reviews current diagnostic and treatment strategies for this uncommon condition.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Hematology
Pathology

Background:

Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is an exceptionally rare breast malignancy, constituting 0.04–0.5% of all breast cancers and <2% of extranodal lymphomas.
PBL often presents with non-specific clinical and imaging findings, potentially mimicking benign breast conditions, complicating early diagnosis.

Observation:

This report focuses on a 45-year-old female diagnosed with multifocal primary breast lymphoma.
The case highlights the diagnostic challenges and varied clinical presentation of PBL.

Findings:

Treatment approaches for PBL are highly variable, lacking a standardized consensus.
Reported interventions range from surgical procedures (biopsy to mastectomy) to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and radioimmunotherapy.

Implications:

The diverse treatment modalities underscore the need for further research into optimal therapeutic strategies for PBL.
Accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plans are crucial for managing this rare lymphoma subtype.
This case contributes to the limited literature on multifocal PBL, aiding future clinical decision-making.
