Abstract

We report the case of a 26 year old patient with a primary, Ann Arbor stage IE, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the uterine corpus. The patient was admitted to our hospital because of a one year history of vaginal contact bleeding. Final diagnosis was based on the histological and immunohistochemical evaluation of a specimen obtained by fractionated cervical and uterine curettage. Further staging has not revealed any other localization of the disease. Antilymphoma treatment was started with CHOP combined with rituximab and resulted complete remission. This is the first reported case of an uterine lymphoma treated by rituximab-based immunochemotherapy.
