Primary uterine B-cell lymphoma - a case report

Primary non-hodgkin lymphoma of the uterine corpus is rare. We present a case of low-grade-B-cell uterine lymphoma in a 70-year old patient with repeated vaginal bleeding. Immunohistochemistry of the curettage tissue was inconclusive ; therefore a diagnosis was established by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Computer tomography (CT) of the pelvis and thorax revealed a solid expansive mass of the uterine corpus and a concomitant tumor in the left lung, respectively. Subsequently hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. Transthoracal punction of the suspicious pulmonary lesion was excluded by PCR. The disease was classified as stage I according the Ann-Arbor classification. She was treated with standard CHOP chemotherapy. The patient is alive and free of the disease after a follow-up period of five years.
