Primary Uterine Lymphoma: A Rare Cause of Postmenopausal Bleeding.

Although uterus and cervix infiltration is a frequent finding in the later stages of lymphomatous disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the female genital tract is extremely rare. We present the case of a 63-years- old woman diagnosed with postmenopausal bleeding, Ann Arbor stage IE, primary, diffuse, large B-cell NHL of the uterus. Disease status was monitored with physical examination and imaging studies. We administered chemotherapy according to CHOP protocol (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, and prednisone). Primary pelvic NHL may present symptoms like other more common gynecologic cancers. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of gynecologic malignancy. Our case emphasizes the importance of chemotherapy that can provide a control of the distant microscopic metastases.
