A Case of Primary Uterina Lymphoma Presenting with Bleeding, Pelvic Pain, and Dysmenorrhea

Abstract EN

Primary non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) can arise from lymphatic cells located in solid organs (extranodal) and it accounts for 25 to 35% of all NHL.

Primary lymphoma on the female genital tract (PLFGT) is a rare disease, comprising 0.2 to 1.1% of all extranodal lymphomas in the female population.

In this paper, the authors report an extremely rare case of a 48-year-old woman who exhibited an abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, and dysmenorrhea history.

The transvaginal ultrasound showed an anteverted uterus measuring 153 cm3 in volume, with intramural leiomyomas.

She underwent a total laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy.

The histologic evaluation of the specimen showed a follicular lymphoma with diffuse pattern in the endometrium.

This report illustrates the difficulty in the diagnosis of primary lymphomas of the female genital tract.
