Abstract

Primary lymphoma of uterine cervix is rare disease, which usually occurs in postmenopausal periods. The usual symptoms are vaginal bleeding, postcoital bleeding. The most common pathologic feature is a diffuse cell type, B-cell line. Pap smear is not helpful in diagnosis because it is stromal origin. Biopsy confirms the diagnosis. Treatment consists of radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy. The prognosis of the disease is dependent upon Ann arbor stage and International index score rather than FIGO stage. We experienced one case of primary lymphoma of cervix and report it with a brief review of literature.
