Interventions:Right radical mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection were performed in September 2019. Thereafter, the patient only received follow-up observation.Outcomes:Her postoperative progress was uneventful, and she was discharged 9 days post-surgery. She was followed-up for 1 year and there was no relapse.Conclusion:PBL should always be considered among other breast cancer diagnoses, although its incidence is very low. This is because PBL is highly malignant and frequently spreads to systemic lymph nodes, and its treatment differs from that of other breast cancers. Therefore, it should be definitively diagnosed preoperatively via histological analysis using adequate tissue obtained from either needle or open biopsies. Thus, surgical resection is a good choice, even for very elderly patients who wish to have a better quality of life.
