We herein report our experience with 51 breast lymphoma (BL) cases from 46 patients with a specific focus on patients with a history of breast carcinoma. The overall most common subtype was diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma, followed by MALT lymphoma and follicular lymphoma. Eleven of 46 (24%) patients had either previous history of or concurrent breast carcinoma. There was no significant difference in clinicopathologic characteristics between patients with primary and secondary BL. On follow‐up, patients with secondary BL had a worse disease‐free survival with no difference in overall survival between the two groups.
