Primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the uterus manifesting as a leiomyoma: A unique presentation with review of literature

We report a primary diffuse large b-cell lymphoma of uterine corpus in a 70-years-old woman who presented with symptoms of increased urinary frequency and sense of bloating. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) findings were suggestive of a degenerating intramural fibroid. histological examination of tissue samples obtained during hysteroscopy showed diffuse infiltration of fibrous stroma by atypical enlarged mononuclear cells. immunohistochemical studies were consistent with the diagnosis of diffuse large b-cell lymphoma. further imaging studies showed no evidence of lymphoma outside the uterus. to our knowledge,this represents the first well-documented case of primary uterine lymphoma presenting as a leiomyoma on imaging studies. © journal of krishna institute of medical sciences university.
