Three cases of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the pelvis / 대한산부인과학회지

Primary pelvic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a rare malignancy that has been reported in the retroperitoneum, ovary, uterine corpus, uterine cervix, vagina and vulva. Although primary pelvic lymphoma is rare, this may be encountered more frequently as the incidence of extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma increases. We experienced three cases of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the pelvis. Two cases are primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the ovary and one is primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the retroperitoneum. We report these cases with a brief review of literature.

Synchronous primary endometrial and ovarian cancers / 대한산부인과학회지

The coexistence of carcinoma of the endometrium and ovary of female genital tract are an uncommon event, and it occurred in 5% of the patients with endometrial cancer and 10% of the patients with ovarian cancer. However, most of them are metastatic lesion from one organ and synchronous primary cancers from both organs are rare. In the present case, we experienced a case with simultaneous primary cancers from endometrium and ovary, occurring in 37-year-old woman presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding. Preoperative endometrial biopsy revealed endometrial carcinoma, and magnetic resonance imaging showed both ovarian lesion, which is suspicious of malignancy. Intraoperative and histological finding showed stage Ib endometrioid endometrial carcinoma and stage IIIc mucinous adenocarcinoma of both ovary, and we present this case with a brief review of reference.
