MR imaging of primary uterine lymphoma.
Primary malignant lymphoma of the uterus is a rare disease. We present the MR findings in three cases where the uterus was the initial site. MR findings wer retrospectively evaluated. Although the intact junctional zone is a specific finding for lymphoma, diffuse enlargement of the uterus and relatively homogeneous signal intensity on MR imaging in spite of large tumor size are helpful for diagnosing uterine lymphoma.
