Hematological malignancies rarely affect the breast, and the majority of those that do are lymphomas. Breast lymphomatous engagement can be categorized into primary and secondary forms, both of which often exhibit imaging characteristics that resemble those seen in primary breast carcinoma. This similarity complicates the process of making a prospective diagnosis of breast lymphoma. We present a case of a 77-year-old female patient, without specific medical history, who presented with an ulcerated mass on the right leg accompanied by diffuse cutaneous nodules and bilateral breast nodules, that has been progressing for the past 3 months. A mammography and a breast ultrasonography were performed. A core needle biopsy of the one of the breast nodules was excuted and the diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma has been established.
