Unsuspected primary cervical lymphoma presenting as "cervical fibroid": partial response to leuprolide acetate.
An unsuspected primary cervical lymphoma thought to be a cervical fibroid decreased in size dramatically after initiation of Leuprolide acetate prior to being correctly diagnosed during subsequent hysterectomy for uterine bleeding. This case represents the first reported successful use of Leuprolide acetate against a reticuloendothelial tumor.
