An Expanded Spectrum of High-Grade B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas Involving the Cervicovaginal Region.
2015
The uterine cervix and vaginal regions are infrequently infiltrated by lymphoma. Involvement of these topographic regions may constitute primary disease or more commonly represent a manifestation of systemic lymphomatous disease. Herein, we report an expanded spectrum of high-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas comprising plasmablastic lymphoma (with and without plasmacytic differentiation), ALK-positive large B-cell lymphoma, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma which involved the uterine cervix and/or vagina of 6 patients at initial diagnosis. These tumors clinically mimicked carcinoma and developed predominantly, but not exclusively, in the setting of human immunodeficiency virus infection.
