Primary breast lymphoma is rare location of this disease. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common histological subtype. We presented two cases of primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the breast and reviewed a literature about this topic.

Abstract Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is an unusual clinical entity accounting for 0.4–0.5% of all breast neoplasms. The usual presentation includes a painless palpable mass similar to that of breast carcinoma. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common identifiable type of PBL based on the histopathological examination. We report an unusual case of 22 years old Bangladeshi woman presented with a 6-month history of a lump on left breast. Although the lump was initially small, it began a rapid growth after 4 months. The swelling was localized and did not show any skin involvement or discharge and as she didn’t have any positive familial history of breast carcinoma her primary attending physician diagnosed it as a case of breast abscess. When local incision and drainage proved ineffective, she was referred to us. After doing an immunohistochemistry from incisional biopsy the diagnosis was confirmed as Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma. The patient was treated initially by chemotherapy with CHOP therapy followed by wide local excision. Early and accurate diagnosis of PBL is crucial for selecting the appropriate MDT treatment strategies to avert potentially harmful surgical interventions.

Zusammenfassung. Maligne Lymphome unterteilen sich zwar in über 60 Entitäten, das grosszellige B-Zell-Lymphom, das follikuläre Lymphom, der Hodgkin und das Mantelzell-Lymphom machen aber mehr als die Hälfte aller Lymphome aus. Im revidierten Ann Arbor staging system gelten die Suffixe «A» und «B» nur noch für den Hodgkin. «E» erscheint nur noch bei Stadien I und II. Eine Knochenmarksuntersuchung wird beim Hodgkin nicht mehr verlangt, beim DLBCL (Diffuse large B cell lymphoma) nur, falls das PET keinen Knochenmark-Befall zeigt. Der PET-Untersuchung, speziell dem Interim-PET, kommt eine entscheidende Bedeutung zu. PET-gesteuerte Therapien führen zu weniger Toxizität. Gezielt wirkende Medikamente mit eindrücklicher Wirksamkeit wurden neu zugelassen. Deren Kosten sind hoch. Eine strahlen- und chemotherapiefreie Behandlung maligner Lymphome wird in Zukunft möglich sein.
