We, here, report a case of primary breast lymphoma in a 59Â years old female. The diagnosis was suspected on fine needle aspiration cytology and confirmed on excision biopsy of the tumor. Histology and immunophenotyping were in accordance with non-Hodgkin's diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The patient has been planned for adjuvant chemoradiation. The management and outcome of primary breast lymphoma and carcinoma are totally different. Early and prompt diagnosis of primary breast lymphoma is of utmost importance to avoid unnecessary mastectomies. Fine needle aspiration cytology supplemented by immuno-cytochemistry can be applied as a reliable and cost-effective tool in the early diagnosis of primary breast lymphomas, while histopathology and immunohistochemistry are conclusive.
