- Abstract
Primary breast lymphoma is an uncommon neoplasm. The vast majority of breast lymphomas are B‑cell type; only in a few cases, the tumor cells show a T‑phenotype. Because the imaging findings are nonspecific, the diagnosis is made by histology. A 42‑year‑old woman presented with chief complaints of exertional dyspnea, dry cough, postnasal discharge, and right breast mass during the last month. The patient underwent an excisional biopsy, and a diagnosis of T‑cell lymphoma was made. The patient received chemotherapy. After the end of chemotherapy, radiotherapy was done. Primary breast T‑cell lymphoma presents as a nonspecific mass on mammography, and as a result, it can be confuse with breast carcinoma. Proper diagnosis and subsequent appropriate treatment lead to excellent prognosis. Chemotherapy is the treatment of choice. Radical surgery should be avoided.
