KAMALESHWARI K KESAVAN

Abstract


Malignant lymphoma of breast is rare,
which may either be primary or secondary.
We report a rare case of primary breast
lymphoma in a 55 year old female, who
presented with mass in the right breast. A
fine needle aspiration (FNA) was done and
a differential diagnosis of lymphoma poorly
differentiated carcinoma neuroendocrine
carcinoma was given. A histopathological
study and further immunohistochemical
analysis with a panel of markers confirmed
the diagnosis of non-Hodgkins lymphoma
of breast of diffuse large B cell type.
