Unusual uterine metastasis of plasmablastic lenfoma: a case report

Abstract

Plasmablastic lenfoma (PBL) is a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)’s variant form that is especiallyreported in HIV-infected patients. PBL is a rare entity seen most commonly in the setting ofimmunocompromise. However, this disease may present in extraoral sites in which the genital tract appears tobe the less common. Here we present a patient with uterine and fallopian mass diagnosed PBL. A 51-year-oldmultipara (G6P4C2) woman with a chief complaint of irregular vaginal bleeding was presented to our outpatientclinic. She had a prior history of breast cancer treated by right mastectomy and adjuvantchemotherapy.Transvaginal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging both showed an uterine massthought to be leiomyoma, which 4×3 cm in size on the anterior wall of uterin corpus. The pathology result ofthe mass was found to be plasmablastic lymphoma. Genital involvement also appears to be last but possiblesite option to find PBL focus in immunocompetent patients.
