Abstract

Primary malignant lyphoma of the genital tract is a rare disease. It’s frequency has been reported to be less than 1% among extranodal lymphoma in women. The main symptoms are abnormal vaginal bleeding, unclear abdominal/pelvic pain, dyspareunia and/or urinary obstruction.
We present a 77-year old woman with a primary malignant lymphoma of the uterine corpus. Non-Hodgkin diffuse large B cell lymphoma was diagnosed in a curett age specimen. Positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (PET-CT) fi ndings showed a lesion confined to the uterus without evidence of disease in the head, neck, chest or abdomen. There were no enlarged lymph nodes. The patient was treated by chemotherapy.
