In this article, in a specific clinical case, the features of the image of secondary lymphoma of the breast with the use of a multimodal clinical-radiological approach were determined and the main literature sources for increasing awareness of this rare but very important pathology are given. Radiologic features of breast lymphomas are non-pathognomonic and may mimic different forms of invasive breast cancer. However, radiologists and clinicians should be aware of this rare pathology to avoid a misinterpretation. The multimodal clinical and radiological approach can be as close as possible to the diagnosis of braest lymphoma, and will pave the way for further diagnostics as biopsy and histopathological evaluation remain the gold-standard for diagnosis. Key words: breast limphoma, digital breast tomosynthesis, full-field digital mammography, breast ultrasound, Selenia Hologic, core needle biopsy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the visibility of microcalcifications of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and full-field digital mammography (FFDM) using breast specimens. Materials And Methods: Thirty-one specimens’ DBT and FFDM were retrospectively reviewed by four readers. Results: The image quality of microcalcifications of DBT was rated as superior or equivalent in 71.0% by reader 1, 67.8% by reader 2, 64.5% by reader 3, and 80.6% by reader 4. The Fleiss kappa statistic for agreement among readers was 0.31. Conclusions: We suggest that image quality of DBT appears to be comparable with or better than FFDM in terms of revealing microcalcifications.
