JEDIDIAH SAMRAJ M

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 53 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 T cell type.
