Abstract

We report four cases of primary breast lymphoma (PBL) and five cases of secondary breast lymphoma (SBL). We illustrate imaging findings in various imaging modalities including mammography, ultrasonography (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) as well as review literature concerning this uncommon condition.
