Abstract
Peritoneal disease in female oncology is frequently due to peritoneal carcinomatosis. Gynaecologic presentation due to isolated peritoneal lymphomatosis (PL) is rarely reported. The pathogenesis of de-novo PL is not yet understood, as peritoneum is devoid of native lymphoid tissue. Only two such cases have been reported in the literature till date. This case adds to the present gynaecologic literature as the third case of isolated PL. This case report is about a 61-year-old female with isolated PL—diffuse large B cells, germinal centre subtype, with no lymph node or organ involvement. The patient succumbed to her illness within a month of initial presentation, in spite of early treatment initiation. Isolated PL is an extremely rare and aggressive entity that portends a dismal outcome. Hence, further diagnostic and therapeutic advancement in these subgroups of poor prognostic lymphomas is warranted.
