Primary Uterine lymphoma is a rare presentation of extranoal lymphoma; therefore, informations regarding histologic type, immunophenotype of tumor cell and etiologic factors are limited. Usually uterine cervix was predominant location in primary
uterine
lymphoma and most patients reported abnormal vaginal bleeding as a initial presentation in uterine lymphoma. Histologically, approximately 70% of all uterine lymphoma were diffuse large cell type by Working Formulation.
Recently We experienced two cases of uterine lymphoma, one from uterine cervix, the other from uterine corpus. A uterine cervix lymphoma was diagnosed by colposcopic punch biopsy. A uterine corpus lymphoma was suggested by MRI findings; diffuse
uterine
enlargement without contour alteration of endometrium, and confirmed by deep cervical punch biopsy. Two cases were found to have diffuse large cell lymphoma and immunologically one was B-cell lineage, the other T-cell lineage. Two case were
treated
with
chemotherapy only.
We report these cases with literature review.
