Abstract
Review of our surgical experience with 10 cases of "primary" lymphoma initially confined to the breast and of previous published reports indicates that radical surgery is to be avoided. Radiation therapy with limited surgery provides excellent local-regional control. The addition of systemic combination chemotherapy is warranted in the more aggressive histologic subtypes because death is generally due to subsequent disseminated disease.
