Primary Hodgkin Lymphoma of the Breast: A Case Report and Literature Review Examining the Use of Different Chemotherapy Regimens.

Primary classic Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) of the breast is a rare type of breast disease. The diagnosis is mostly confirmed by an excisional biopsy. The first line of treatment commonly used for Hodgkin lymphoma is doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD). Our case report is about a 48-year-old lady who was diagnosed with bilateral breast Hodgkin lymphoma following an excisional biopsy and was treated with brentuximab vedotin plus doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (BV-AVD). The patient responded positively after the initiation of the regimen. There is scarce data on the classic Hodgkin lymphoma of the breast, and even with the wide use of first-line treatment using ABVD, the disease is still difficult to manage. Hence, patients with breast masses should be screened for classic HL of the breast, and larger studies are needed to establish specific treatment guidelines concerning HL of the breast to prevent relapse and other complications.
