Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in multiple places and uterine involvement

Multiple locations of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, in cases of recurrence of disease, may affect all the lymph node stations. The case reported, sited in the uterus, constitutes a very rare event and whenever it occurs the preoperative diagnosis may present serious difficulties. Surgery, which must be prompt and radical, is mandatory for histopathological staging of the disease and for the implementation of an appropriate chemotherapy protocol. In the case reported here the diagnostic work-up enabled us to achieve correct preoperative staging.
