Primary Breast Burkitt’s Lymphoma in an HIV-Infected Woman

الملخص EN

A 30-year-old HIV positive woman presented with a multifocal mass tumour associated with axillary and lateral-cervical lymphadenopathy in the right breast.

Laboratory examination of the biopsy confirmed a case of mammary Burkitt’s lymphoma with a nodular infiltration of the breast.

Antiretroviral treatment and chemotherapy were effective to control the tumour.

Although Burkitt’s lymphoma rarely involves the breasts, it should be considered during routine breast examination of African woman.
