title: Primary breast lymphoma with skin involvement arising in lymphocytic lobulitis.
abstract: Primary breast lymphoma is a rare tumour which has recently been associated with pre-existing lymphocytic lobulitis. We report a patient with lymphocytic lobulitis in whom the lymphoma recurred in the contra-lateral breast 5 years after the initial presentation, to be followed shortly afterwards by skin involvement. This progression illustrates the relationship between extra-nodal lymphomas and underlying autoimmune disease and the homing of lymphomas to related sites.
