Abstract

Primary malignant lymphoma of the cervix is a rare disease. Because the number of reports of this cancer is limited, there is no consensus on its management, prognosis or the efficacy of various treatments. Primary malignant lymphoma of the cervix stage Ib was diagnosed in a 25-year-old woman. The patient was treated with 6 courses of CHOP chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone). Clinical and pathological responses were complete. This case supports current thinking in that, in selected young patients with primary malignant lymphoma of the cervix who desire to preserve fertility and ovarian functions, combination chemotherapy regimens such as CHOP are the treatment of choice.
