Primary MALT lymphoma of the breast: pathological and radiological characteristics

ConclusionPrimary MALT breast lymphomas are usually indolent and non-systemic, and local radiotherapy may effectively alleviate local symptoms. Radiological findings show overlap with benign morphological features, which can delay the diagnosis of this unusual etiology. Although further studies involving a larger cohort could help establish the clinical and radiological characteristics of primary breast MALT lymphomas, pathology remains the primary method of diagnosis.Trial registration numberUniversity Health Network Ethics Committee (CAPCR/UHN REB number 19 –5844), retrospectively registered.
