title: [Lymphoma of the uterine cervix: report of two cases and review of the literature].
abstract: The occurrence of primary lymphomas of the female genital tract is rare. The diagnosis is usually not possible by the cytological examination; a tissue biopsy is necessary. The present paper reports two patients referred to our service with a diagnosis of cervical lymphoma. In one of them, the diagnostic difficulties are demonstrated. Both patients were submitted to chemotherapy with satisfactory post-operatory period. There is no standard treatment for uterine lymphomas. Exclusive local treatment is supported by some reports in the literature in clinical stage IE, while others prefer systemic treatment irrespective of clinical stage.
