Abstract
A case of a primary peripheral T cell lymphoma arising in the endometrium i s presented. Primary lymphomas of the female genital tract are rare, with e ndometrial lymphomas and those of T cell type being rarer still. Extensive investigations revealed no other sites of disease and the patient was treat ed by hysterectomy and chemotherapy. She remains well 33 months later. We b elieve that this case is exceptionally unusual.
