Diffuse large B-cell extranodal lymphoma of the uterine cervix: An incidental Pap smear finding with histological and immunohistochemical correlation

摘要

Dear Dr. Bedrossian: Hematologic malignancies rarely affect the female genital tract, representing an uncommon finding on a Papanicolaou (Pap) smear. Thus, less than 1% of extranodal lymphomas arise from the gynecological tract with the uterine cervix most commonly being affected. The majority of primary cervical lymphomas are classified as non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) of B-cell origin. Here we present a case of diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL) extra-nodal lymphoma of the uterine cervix diagnosed on Pap-smear and subsequently confirmed by histological examination.
