presentations. Materials and methods Two patients were reported with Synchronous carcinoma
breast with lymphomas in distant sites to our institute from June-Nov 2014 and they were managed
with multi modality approach. Radiotherapy was also the predominant treatment modality for these
patients.A 45 years old female presented with complaints of lump in the left breast and on
