Abstract
We present the case of a 70-years-old woman with primary malignant lymphoma of the uterus, clinical stage II E in the Ann Arbor classification. She visited our clinic with genital bleeding. On admission, we diagnosed hydronephrosis and psychological symptoms were present. Laboratory examination was within normal limits, except for elevated LDH levels.
According to the histopathological findings, this case was classified as a non-Hodgkin lymphoma, diffuse and medium sized cell type in the LSG (Lymphoma Study Group of Japan) classification. The Papanicolaou-stained cervical smear showed small cells with naked nuclei and an increased nuclear-cytoplasmic (N/C) ratio.
