title: Unusual breast neoplasm: primary breast lymphoma.
abstract: Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is a rare clinical entity. The clinical and imaging findings in breast lymphoma can mimic those of breast carcinoma. As a result, the diagnosis of PBL relies on histological evaluation and confirmed by immunohistochemical staining. The treatment of choice of this rare disease is controversial. This case report highlights the diagnosis and management of a 48-year-old woman residing in Iran with PBL.
