ABSTRACT: Primary breast Hodgkin lymphoma is an uncommon and rare type of breast malignancy with little clinical and imaging specificity. As in all forms of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), the diagnosis of breast HL is difficult and can only be made if an immunohistochemical study is carried out to exclude other types of cancer and avoid unnecessary surgery. The role of positron emission tomography scanning (PET/CT) is important in assessing lesions and making treatment decisions. We present a unique case of primary breast Hodgkin lymphoma in a 49-year-old woman. The diagnosis is confirmed by histology. Immunohistochemistry on an axillary lymph node biopsy. A complete response was obtained after first-line chemotherapy: BEACOP-DAC (bleomycin-dacarbazine-cyclophosphamide-doxorubicin-etoposide-vincristine). Furthermore, the patient did not receive radiotherapy.
