Primary lymphoma of the breast. Three cases of non-hodgkin lymphoma

Primary and sole breast lymphoma is a very rare disease. With the review of our series of 616 cases operated on for breast cancer, only 3 cases (0.48%) of primary breast non-Hodgkin lymphoma (LNH) have been observed. The authors outline the problems concerning diagnosis and therapy of this rare disease: pathological and immunoistoche-mical aspects are discussed. They stress the importance of staging in order to plan a correct multidisciplinar approach.
