Abstract

Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) should be distinguished from secondary breast lymphoma arising in the setting of lymphoma elsewhere in the body. Multimodality imaging is key to diagnosing PBL, and imaging manifestations thereof may indicate PBL and alter the treatment course. Treatment options including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or surgery depend on histology. We report two cases of PBL, illustrating the transformative impact that multimodality imaging may have on clinical management.

Keywords: Breast cancer; Non-Hodgkin lymphoma; Primary breast lymphoma; Secondary breast lymphoma.
