title: Primary lymphoma of the vagina. A case report.
abstract: Primary vaginal non-Hodgkin lymphoma is really uncommon and may be misdiagnosed as inflammatory disease or solid cancer, so careful diagnostic procedures are needed, particularly as far as pathological and immunocytochemical evaluation is concerned. Most of these lymphomas present with follicular patterns and limited stage disease, so high cure rates are possible with surgery and/or radiotherapy, but chemotherapy has to be considered on the basis of clinical presentation and pathologic features. We report a case of vaginal lymphoma with primary bulky ulcered mass hat was treated with chemoradiotherapy.
