Abstract

We present a rare case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma developed in subcutaneous fat layer of the breast with cardiac involvement. Radiologists should perform an image-guided biopsy for pathologic confirmation of breast lymphomas and avoidance of unnecessary invasive treatment.

Keywords: B-cell lymphoma; breast neoplasms; ultrasonography.
