A primitive lymphoma of the uterine cervix. Case report.
A case of primitive lymphoma of the uterine cervix is discussed. After two years of vaginal post-coital bleeding, the echography showed the presence of a supraisthmic mass. The patient underwent a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The histology was consistent with a B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), follicular centre derived. The patient was staged as IIE and treated with six cycles of chemotherapy (CHOP), achieving a complete remission. The paper stresses the value of histology in the diagnosis of lymphoma of the uterine cervix and the effectiveness of the treatment, and reviews the relevant literature.
