title: The diagnostic value of cytology in a case of lymphoma of the uterine cervix.
abstract: The Authors describe a case of primitive lymphoma of the uterine cervix and review the relevant literature. The presence of this malignant neoplasm was revealed by cytologic examination; colposcopy and biopsy findings were negative. The paper stresses the value of cytology in the diagnosis of lymphoma and discusses the differential diagnosis between plasmacytoid lymphocytic lymphoma of the cervix and stromal sarcoma.
