We describe a case of primary lymphoma of the breast which clinically mimicked a phyllodes tumor. The diagnosis and treatment of this rare neoplasm are discussed. The lymphomas, neoplasias of the immune system, comprise a large group of proliferative diseases of the lymphoreticular tissue which are classified into two histological types, i.e., Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin. Primary lymphomas of the breast are quite rare, with an incidence ranging from 0.4 to 0.53% of all malignant breast tumors (2). They are characterized by uni- or bilateral involvement of the breast, with or without homolateral axillary lymphadenopathy, and by the absence of lymphatic disease at another site (7). We report here a case of primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the left breast and we discuss its clinical aspects and the treatment instituted.
我们描述了一例临床上酷似叶状肿瘤的原发性乳腺淋巴瘤病例。本文讨论了这种罕见肿瘤的诊断和治疗。淋巴瘤是免疫系统的肿瘤,由一大类淋巴网状组织的增殖性疾病组成,分为两种组织学类型,即霍奇金淋巴瘤和非霍奇金淋巴瘤。原发性乳腺淋巴瘤非常罕见,在所有恶性乳腺肿瘤中的发病率为0.4%至0.53%(2)。其特征为乳腺单侧或双侧受累,伴或不伴有同侧腋窝淋巴结肿大,且其他部位无淋巴系统疾病(7)。我们在此报告一例左侧乳腺原发性非霍奇金淋巴瘤病例,并讨论其临床情况及所采取的治疗措施。
