title: [Primary lymphoma of the breast].
abstract: Analysis of 5 cases of primary breast lymphoma highlights the marked rarity of the lesion and the extreme difficulty of pre-operative diagnosis. It is also shown that the disease generally runs a rapid course and that prognosis is usually unfavourable. The most effective treatment appears to be a combination of surgery and radiation therapy, while chemotherapy--although widely used--still requires further confirmation.
