Abstract：Objective To investigate the MRI features of primary breast lymphoma(PBL)so as to improve understanding of the disease.Methods Clinical,imaging,and pathological results of two patients with PBL were selected,and literature was re-viewed to summarize the MRI findings of PBL.Results One case in this study was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma,and the other case was T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma.Combined with the literature,it was found that PBL presented as well-defined/in-distinct round,oval,or lobulated masses,with low ADC values.It can show homogeneous/heterogeneous enhancement after con-trast administration,with rim enhancement in the delayed phase.The TIC(time-signal intensity curve)was mostly type Ⅱ or type Ⅲ,and vascular permeation/marginal enhancement and septal enhancement can be seen within the tumor.Conclusion Combining the patient's medical history and MRI findings can contribute to the diagnosis of PBL.
