Primary breast lymphoma mimicking triple-negative breast cancer: a case report with clinical and pathological implications
On rare occasions, PBL can preoperatively mimic TNBC. While this case did not lead to serious consequences, because surgery was eventually selected as the first therapy, clinicians should be aware that the diagnosis of PBL is challenging using only a core-needle biopsy and can often be misdiagnosed as TNBC.
