Objective To analyze the clinical and pathological features of primary breast lymphoma (PBL) and explore the value of appling rituximab for the prognosis of patients with PBL. Methods The clinicopathological characteristics and therapeutic effect of rituximab were retrospectively analyzed of 65 patients with PBL admitted in the Cancer Hospital of Peking Union Medical College, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 1, 2000 to January 31, 2020. According to different treatment methods,they were divided into CHOP group [n=41, using CHOP regimen (cyclophosphamide + epirubicin + vincristine + prednisone)] and RCHOP group (n=24, using rituximab combined CHOP regimen treatment). Patients received telephone follow-up or outpatient review until January 31, 2022 or mortality. Univariate regression analysis and multivariate regression analysis were used to analyze the factors influencing the prognosis of patients with PBL. Results All the 65 patients were female, aged 57(23, 86) years old.The tumor size was 2.8(0.4, 5.3) cm, and the follow-up time was 4.3(0.7, 21.8) years. There was a statistically significant difference in Ki-67 expression between the two groups (P=0.043), and there was no significant difference in other clinicopathological features and treatment plans (P>0.05). The 5- and 10-year overall survival rate of the 65 PBL patients were 93.4% and 87.9%,and the 5- and 10-year progression-free survival rate were 88.2% and 79.6%, the central nervous system recurrence rate was 4.6%.The 5-year overall survival rate in CHOP group was 93.8% and in RCHOP group was 92.9% (P=0.733), and 5-year progression-free survival rate was 89.9% in CHOP group, and in RCHOP group was 92.9% (P=0.897). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed the international prognostic index (IPI) score and the level of β2 microglobulin were the independent risk factors of overall survival (P<0.05). Conclusions There is no special clinical manifestation of PBL. The definite diagnosis mainly depends on histopathological examination and immunophenotype. Radical surgical resection can not improve the prognosis of patients, and comprehensive treatment based on full-term chemotherapy should be adopted; whether patients with PBL received rituximab was not associated with the survival benefits.
