Abstract:
Malignant lymphoma in the breast is rare, with primary breast lymphoma and secondary breast lymphoma being the two subtypes. Primary breast lymphoma presents as a fast-growing, painless, palpable mass and is less frequent due to limited lymphoid tissue in the breast. Primary breast double-hit lymphoma is a very rare, highly aggressive malignancy that presents a great challenge regarding proper diagnosis and optimal treatment. Our case involved high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 rearrangement (double hit), treated with dose-adjusted etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin chemotherapy, resulting in complete resolution.
