A 12 years old young female presented to the surgical outpatient clinic at the Hospital Pediátrico Docente “Gral. Pedro Agustín Pérez” in Guantanamo. Patient showed swelling in the upper right breast, with no pain. Examination revealed irregular edges (with approximately 3 cm in diameter) and no swollen tissue. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy was performed and breast fibroadenoma was diagnosed. Node exeresis and histopathological study both showed a high risk malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and a multidisciplinary care team assumed the case. At the time of the report, the patient is still under chemotherapy and prognosis evolves positively. The medical literature on the subject was put on review and a layout of the essentials to familiarize the general practitioners with the topic was set.

Palabras clave : nodule; breast; non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma; fibroadenoma.
