[A rare case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the uterine cervix].
We report a rare case of primary extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the uterine cervix. A 58-year old, postmenopausal multipara was admitted to the hospital with metrorrhagia and vaginal discharge. After diagnostic biopsy, the patient underwent radical abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpigo-oophorectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. histologically, the lymphoma was classified as non-Hodgkin lymphoma of intermediate malignancy. Immunohistochemical studies revealed that the atypical lymphoid cells were B-cells (CD 20+), indicating that the lymphoma was of B-lineage. Postoperatively, she received adjuvant chemiotherapy. Our experience and a review of current literature are presented.
