Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting as a primary lesion in uterine cervix: case report.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) arising from extra nodal tissue and staying localized to that region is rare. Rarer still is primary NHL of the uterine cervix. We describe a patient with primary extra nodal NHL of the uterine cervix and vagina who was treated successfully with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She is free of disease 17 months after treatment. Data of 52 patients collected from the literature (Medline, National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, MD) is reviewed.
