Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in the uterus with unexpected manifestations: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lymphoid neoplasm is a common disease, arising from lymphoid cells. It is divided into Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma can be intranodular or extranodular, which happens in 25% of primary cases. The most common locations of extranodular non-Hodgkin lymphoma are the skin and gastrointestinal tract. The genital tract is a rare location; most lymphomas arise from the cervix and vagina, while the uterine corpus is an extremely rare location. In our case, the patient was diagnosed with primary extranodular non-Hodgkin lymphoma in different locations of her genital tract.

Case presentation

A 48-year-old nonparous Syrian woman complained of diffuse abdominal pain, fatigue, debility, high fever, vomiting, and urinary retention for a week. T
