Hodgkin's lymphoma is a potentially curable malignancy of the lymphatic system characterized by a variable number of scattered and large mononucleated and multinucleated tumor cells, the Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells residing in an abundant heterogeneous admixture of non-neoplastic inflammatory cells. It represents approximately 30% of all lymphomas according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma typically present with painless peripheral adenopathy, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. We report a rare case of Hodgkin's lymphoma presented as a breast mass in a 23-year-old woman diagnosed on fine needle aspiration (FNA). At presentation, she had no B symptoms, or palpable lymphadenopathy.

“…It is well documented that patients who have had breast carcinoma and complementarily received adjuvant treatment with radiation and/or chemotherapy are at increased risk of secondary malignancies [7]. The simultaneous occurrence of primary lymphoma and invasive carcinoma in the same breast is very rare.…”

Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma and invasive ductal carcinoma in the same breast: a rare case report

et al. 2009

Primary lymphoma of the breast is an unusual clinical entity. The coexistence in the same breast of an invasive ductal carcinoma is even rarer. We report a 69-year old woman referred for further evaluation of a palpable mass in her right breast. She was diagnosed and treated for simultaneous primary lymphoma and invasive ductal carcinoma. Primary breast lymphoma should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of breast masses. The presence of both malignancies presents a challenge in treatment decisions.
