None were diagnosed with PBL preoperatively. Pathological studyshowed that all cases were non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with the DLCL type(53.3%). The right breast was affected in 10 patients, the left in 4 and both inone. A statistical analysis showed that the size of tumors and treatmentpattern (single or multi-modality) were significant prognostic factors inpredicting the survival time, but the location of the tumor at initialpresentation and the age of the patients were not.CONCLUSION Most PBLs are NHL. The right breast is more frequently involved. The correct diagnosis depends mostly on postoperative pathology. The size of the tumor and the modality of treatment are significant prognostic factors. 关 键 词：初级 恶性淋巴瘤 肿瘤 胸部 临床研究 病例报告 NHL
