Abstract EN
Lymphoma of the uterine cervix is very rare.
We report a case of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) involving the uterine cervix treated at a newly commissioned semiurban cancer centre in north India in 2015.
Data for this study was obtained from the hospital electronic medical records and the patient’s case file.
We also reviewed published case reports of uterine and cervical lymphoma involving forty-one patients.
We treated a case of stage IV DLBCL cervix with six cycles of R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone) and intrathecal methotrexate followed by consolidation with radiotherapy.
The patient showed complete response to chemotherapy.
We conclude that, in advanced stage lymphoma involving uterus and cervix, combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy is effective in short term.
