Primary Breast Burkitt: A Rare Entity

Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is a rare localization of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), accounting for less than 0.5% of breast cancers and only 2% of extraganglionic lymphomas. Its clinical and radiological manifestations, often non-specific (painless breast mass, skin changes), make diagnosis complex, and can lead to delayed management. We report the case of a 22-year-old patient, a particularly rare age for this pathology. Through a review of the literature, we explore the epidemiological, clinical, histological and therapeutic aspects of mammary Burkitt's lymphoma, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis to improve management and prognosis. Thanks to rapid and intensive management, the patient was in complete remission after 20 months of follow-up.
