Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) accounts 0.4-0.5% of all
breast cancers. The aim is to present the patient diagnosed
with recurrency of primary breast lymphoma treated six year
ago without radiotherapy. A 63-years-old woman patient admitted
to our hospital with a palpabl mass in her left breast.
Six years ago she was treated with chemoterapy after local excision
for primary left breast lymphoma. Imaging modalities
showed multiple lesion in breast and confirmed with biopsy.
Pathologic results were similar with first one and the case was
accepted as PBL recurrence. Multipl metastases has been determined
with staging modalities. Patient started to chemotherapy
treatment. PBL is a rare cancer of breast and there
is no consensus at the treatment of disease. In the literature
addition of radiotherapy to the treatment prevents local recurrence.
There were occured recurrence without radiotherapy,
mimicked that radiotherapy is an essential modality in PBL
treatment.
