Primary breast lymphoma of childhood: a case report and review of literature

Abstract Background Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is an extremely rare neoplasm in children; by definition, it manifests in the breast without evidence of lymphoma elsewhere, except ipsilateral axillary nodes. Case presentation We report a case of a 15-year-old girl diagnosed with diffuse large B-ce...
