Abstract
Primary malignant lymphoma of the uterine body is extremely rare. There are few reports concerning magnetic resonance images (MR) of uterine body lymp homa although there are several reports concerning uterine cervical lymphom a. The MR images of a 66-year-old woman with primary malignant lymphoma of the uterine body showed that the myometrium was diffusely involved, exhibit ing an almost homogeneous character, and the normal zonal anatomy of the ut erine cervix was preserved, with the endometrium being partly recognized ne ar the center of the tumor. We report suggestive findings on MR images of p rimary malignant lymphoma of the uterine body.
