A case of primary marginal zone B-cell lymphoma in an elderly female patient is presented. Primary breast lymphomas are rare, comprising less than 1 per cent of all breast malignancies. These tumors have no clinical, pathologic, or radiologic pathognomonic features to distinguish them from breast adenocarcinoma. The diagnosis is usually made with an excisional biopsy, and more extensive surgery should be avoided. Delivery of radiation therapy and chemotherapy is tailored according to the histologic grade, stage of disease, and overall patient condition. This report summarizes the current knowledge reflected in the literature.
本文介绍了一例老年女性原发性边缘区B细胞淋巴瘤病例。原发性乳腺淋巴瘤较为罕见，占所有乳腺恶性肿瘤的比例不到1%。这些肿瘤没有临床、病理或放射学特征可将其与乳腺腺癌区分开来。诊断通常通过切除活检进行，应避免更广泛的手术。放疗和化疗的实施根据组织学分级、疾病分期和患者总体状况进行调整。本报告总结了文献中反映的现有知识。
