Abstract
- Primary malignant lymphoma of the female genital tract is extremely rare and no standard treatment has been established. The present patient is menopausal with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the uterine body, endocervix and parametrium. She underwent a simple total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, followed by treatment with a new regimen, combined immunochemotherapy with rituximab (monoclonal antibody), cyclophosphamide vincristine, and prednisolone. The patient had complete remission in the follow-up 3 years after this therapy. We suggest this treatment is a useful therapy for a patient with primary malignant lymphoma of the uterine body.
