Abstract

Lymphoma presenting as a breast mass is rare, although well documented. Although recurrence rates can reach approximately 50%, recurrence in the contralateral breast is rare. We report a case of recurrent primary breast lymphoma (PBL), which was discovered on screening mammography after a 5-year disease-free interval from initial diagnosis.
