title: [Primary malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the breast: breast preserving therapy in 3 patients].
abstract: Primary malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma is rare. The mammographic appearance is unspecific. The final diagnosis can usually be made after examination of paraffin-embedded tissue only. There exists no therapeutic standard for this disease. In the case of 3 patients treated at our institution, tumorectomy only and adjuvant therapy have been performed because there is no survival advantage for patients who underwent radical surgery.
