Incidence of primary lymphoma of the breast is less than 0.5% of all malignant breast lesions. Therefore it belongs in the group of rare malignant diseases, frequency of less than 5% of all malignant tumors. Lymphoma could be found as primary extranodal lymphoma or secondary to systemic involvment. The first clinical sign is usually a palpable mass or nodule. Its appearance on mammography, sonography and also magnetic resonance is nonspecific, usually a well circumscribed, hypervascularised lesion with fast growth tendency. Although breast lymphoma is rare it has to be considered in differencial diagnosis. Early diagnosis and treatment, which is radically different to treatment of breast carcinoma, very often leads to remision.
