NON-HODGKIN-LYMPHOMA IN A GYNECOLOGIC SERVICE - A REPORT OF 3 CASES

Primary lymphoma arising in female genital tract organs is extremely r are. We report three cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma which were encounte red during a four-year period at our gynecologic department. One patie nt presented with an inguinal mass; another had a primary lymphoma of the vagina and the third had massive pelvic and para-aortic lymphomato us involvement. The gynecologists should be aware that, although rarel y, lymphomas may arise in the genital tract, and that a massive involv ement of inguinal, pelvic or para-aortic nodes may be related to a lym phoproliferative disease.
