Synchronous occurrance of multiple neoplastic processes is not very common, and the relationship between breast cancer with lymphoproliferative diseases is unusual as well. Furthermore, breast involvement by non‐Hodgkins lymphoma is a rare event and primary breast non‐Hodgkins lymphoma is even rarer. The authors take this opportunity to report a case of primary B‐cell non‐Hodgkins lymphoma breast occurring in association with invasive ductal carcinoma in a 47‐year‐old female for its rare synchronous association.
