Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Hematology
- Pathology
Background:
- Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is a rare extra-nodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma, accounting for 0.4-0.5% of breast neoplasms.
- PBL predominantly affects women and is typically a non-Hodgkin's B-cell type, most commonly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
- It can present as a painless breast mass or mimic mastitis during pregnancy, necessitating investigation for non-responsive cases.
