Abstract

Background: Radiotherapy (RT) is used as an indispensable treatment approach for cancer therapy as an adjuvant or alone for definitive option. For early stage endometrial cancer, RT is applied after operation as an adjuvant. Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (PCALCL) is a type of lymphoma which is seen rarely and has excellent prognosis with accurate treatment. It is another indication for RT. Developments in the diagnosis and the treatment of PCALCL have improved the disease prognosis and outcomes. Case Presentation: We present a case of a 55-years-old patient who had endometrial cancer and PCALCL, whose 9 years follow-up period was excellent with no recurrences and no metastasis. The outcome was achieved with the combination of surgery and RT. Conclusion: The presented case is important for long follow-up duration with no metastasis and/or no recurrences with single RT usage in both primary cancers. Single RT applications may be considered as an initial treatment option for surgically excised PCALCL with excellent outcome.
