title: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma: a rare primary vulvar localization.
abstract: Malignant lymphomas concern the female genital tract in 30% of cases. The majority (more than 90%) are non-Hodgkin lymphoma, involving in order of frequency, ovary (49%), uterus (29%), Fallopian tubes (11%), vagina (7%), vulva (4%). So a primary vulvar localization seems to be quite unusual; in fact only 5 cases have been reported since 1937 up to now. We report a case of vulvar non-Hodgkin lymphoma we observed in our Institute.
