Vaginal bleeding as a first symptom of malignant lymphoma: case reports, diagnosis and successful treatment.
Uncommon pathologic changes of the uterine cervix are rare but not impossible. Described cases of cervical lymphoma indicate the necessity of great attention and careful diagnosis. A watchful examination, imaging procedures and detailed histopathologic findings are of crucial importance in treatment planning. Each of our three patients underwent different types of treatment. A proper choice of therapeutical methods is based on individual disease and patient performance status features. In our patients, chemotherapy, radiotherapy (brachy- and teletherapy) were considered and applied as the sole method or in combination.
