Primary Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma of Breast in Young Female-A Rare Entity

Abstract

Primary lymphoma of the breast is an uncommon malignant breast tumour which is rarely distinguished from other more common forms of breast cancer due to its low occurrence. As the management of Non-Hodgkins lymphoma of breast differs from adenocarcinoma of breast, here the mainstay of treatment is systemic chemotherapy. Thus, reaching an accurate diagnosis is crucial. A young woman presented with breast lump and on fine needle aspiration cytology a diagnosis of granulomatous inflammation was made. Subsequent biopsy revealed Non-Hodgkins lymphoma of breast.
