Primary lymphoma of the uterine cervix is a rare site of extranodal lymphoma. Many gynecologic oncologists may go their entire career without encountering one. Patients may present with symptoms of abnormal or postmenopausal bleeding, and diagnosis may be challenging as typical office tests such as the pap smear may not detect the abnormal cells. Once a diagnosis is made, management may be debated due to the rarity of the condition and lack of accepted standard treatment. However, most patients respond well to some version of chemotherapy and radiation typically used for standard lymphomas. Prognosis is favorable if the patient is diagnosed early in the disease process.
子宫颈原发性淋巴瘤是结外淋巴瘤的一个罕见部位。许多妇科肿瘤学家在其整个职业生涯中可能都不会遇到一例。患者可能表现为异常出血或绝经后出血症状，由于典型的门诊检查如巴氏涂片可能无法检测到异常细胞，诊断可能具有挑战性。一旦做出诊断，由于该病罕见且缺乏公认的标准治疗方法，治疗方案可能会存在争议。然而，大多数患者对通常用于标准淋巴瘤的某种化疗和放疗方案反应良好。如果患者在疾病过程中早期被诊断，预后良好。
