description Lymphoma of the breast is a rare malignancy of the breast lymphoid tissue. It can present as either a primary or a secondary malignancy due to metastasis from a systemic disease. Secondary breast lymphoma (SBL) is one of the most common malignancies to metastasize to the breast. Once present in the breast, these masses are often difficult to distinguish from primary breast carcinoma on both physical examination and diagnostic imaging modalities. Differentiating these tumors is imperative because each has a different management plan. This report presents a rare case of SBL in a 55-year-old Hispanic female and includes a review of its presentation, radiologic imaging findings, and management.
