PRIMARY NON-HODGKIN'S LYMPHOMA OF UTERINE CERVIX
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the uterine cervix is rare. We report a 56-year-old woman who presented with post-coital bleeding. Pelvic examination revealed a uterine cervical mass, which confirmed to be large B cell lymphoma on histopathological examination. Computed tomography and surgery showed a primary lesion in the uterine cervix with no lymph node or other extranodal involvement. Primary B cell non-Hodgkin’s malignant lymphoma of the cervix stage 1E was diagnosed. The patient was treated with surgery and 6 courses of combined chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone). In some cases of patients with big uterine mass that caused mechanical problems, we must think about primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of uterine cervix which requires combination treatment regimens such as surgery with chemotherapy.
