Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) are heterogenous group of neoplastic disorder of lymphoid tissue. It can occur as primary lymph node disease or at extranodal sites. Extra-nodal sites of involvement can be gastrointestinal tract, lung, thyroid, salivary glands, skin and female genital tract. We report a rare case of extra-nodal Non-Hodgkins lymphoma in a 40 year old female who presented with pain and swelling in abdomen. She was admitted due to a finding of a large retroperitoneal tumor in the lower abdomen and pelvis with a heterogenous appearing uterus which on histopathology and immunohistochemistry turned out to be diffuse large B cell lymphoma. She then received medical management, as is appropriate for this diagnosis. Chemotherapy was initiated in a very timely manner and she showed significant improvement within weeks.
