title: Primary lymphoma of the uterus and cervix: two case reports and review of the literature.
abstract: Primary lymphoma of the uterus and cervix is rarely encountered. We present two cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the cervix and uterus that were treated with R-CHOP chemotherapy followed by pelvic radiotherapy. The women are disease free 20 and 19 months after the diagnosis respectively. Seventy-two cases of primary uterine and cervical lymphoma reported in the English literature in the last 10 years from 2000 to 2010 are reviewed.
