| Summary: | A post menopausal lady presented with lump lower abdomen and bleeding per vaginum.
USG revealed diffuse enlargement of the uterus. On hysterectomy, a grossly enlarged uterus with
cystic left ovary were found. Hysterectomy was done and uterus with bilateral adnexa submitted for
histopathological examination. Microscopic examination of the body of uterus revealed sheets of small
lymphoid cells were found to replace the endo- and myo-metrium. These cells have small nuclei with
clumped chromatin, and no prominence of nucleoli. They are not forming lymphoid follicles or germinal
centers. Similar lymphoid cells were also found in the left ovary admixed with ovarian stroma. On
IHC these cells were found to be CD45, CD20, CD23 positive, and negative for CD3
, CK and SMA. The
case is diagnosed as a primary small lymphocytic lymphoma of uterus with left ovarian spread. |
