Primary lymphoma of the breast is a rare entity in the field of oncological medicine and represents <0.5% of all breast malignancies. A definitive diagnosis is obtained by excisional biopsy as the clinical and radiographical presentation is similar to the more common primary breast carcinoma. Unlike primary breast carcinoma, localized radiation therapy is the mainstay of treatment. We report on a case of primary follicular lymphoma of the breast in a 67-year-old Caucasian woman treated with localized radiation as well as coinciding literature review regarding outcomes of different treatment modalities.
原发性乳腺淋巴瘤在肿瘤医学领域是一种罕见的疾病,占所有乳腺恶性肿瘤的比例不到0.5%。由于其临床和影像学表现与更常见的原发性乳腺癌相似,因此通过切除活检才能获得明确诊断。与原发性乳腺癌不同,局部放射治疗是主要的治疗方法。我们报告了一例67岁白种女性原发性乳腺滤泡性淋巴瘤的病例,该患者接受了局部放射治疗,并对不同治疗方式的结果进行了相关文献综述。
