RESUMO
Although in the past two decades there has been a sharp rise in the incidence of extranodal primary lymphomas, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the female genital tract is still rare. There is still no consensus on the management of cervical lymphomas. The malignant lymphoma localized in uterine cervix is rare and characteristically symptom free expressed. A 26-year-old woman presented in March 2004 with uterine bleeding. After the patient underwent punch biopsy, primary cervical malignant lymphoma was diagnosed. Six courses of chemotherapy were administered in an adjuvant setting. Thirty-nine months (May 2007) after the diagnosis the patient was alive and without signs of recurrent disease. In this report, one case of primary cervical lymphoma diagnosed by punch biopsy is reported and associated literature is discussed.

The incidence of multiple primary malignancy is extremely rare although the prevalence rate is increasing recently. There are several reasons of increment of multiple primary malignancy. First, the advances in the treatment and the diagnostic modality of malignancy have led to increased survival rate. So many of the patients who survived the first cancer could live long enough to develop additional primary cancers. Second, the long term effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy have been proved oncogenic. Third, increasing age, environmental carcinogen, some kinds of viral infection, and genetic predisposition have potentials for multiple carcinogenesis. Most of multiple primary cancer is double primary, however triple primary cancer is rare. We experienced a case of triple primary cancer involving endometrium, colon, and stomach. We report this case with a review of literatures.

Primary cervical carcinosarcoma is very rare malignancy with fewer than 50 documented cases in the literature, which is a histologic variant of cervical cancer. In addition, sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma has been described in only 4 prior cases. We experienced a case of 42 year-old female with sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. We report this case with a brief review of literatures.
