Magnetic resonance images of primary malignant lymphoma of the uterine body: a case report.
Primary malignant lymphoma of the uterine body is extremely rare. There are few reports concerning magnetic resonance images (MR) of uterine body lymphoma although there are several reports concerning uterine cervical lymphoma. The MR images of a 66-year-old woman with primary malignant lymphoma of the uterine body showed that the myometrium was diffusely involved, exhibiting an almost homogeneous character, and the normal zonal anatomy of the uterine cervix was preserved, with the endometrium being partly recognized near the center of the tumor. We report suggestive findings on MR images of primary malignant lymphoma of the uterine body.
