Bilateral Primary Malignant Lymphoma of the Breast. A Case Report

A case of bilateral primary malignant lymphoma of the breast in a 30 year old woman is described. The tumors were first discovered during a self-examination of the breast at the 7th month of pregnancy. Thereafter they rapidly increased in size. The patient underwent simple bilateral mastectomy, and histological examination revealed a centroblastic/centro-cytic lymphoma. The patient is alive and well 9 months after mastectomy.
