The clinical and pathological diagnosis of three cases of uterine corpus primary NHL / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss pathological features of three cases of uterine primary NHL(non Hodgkin′s lymphoma).Methods The clinical and pathological data of 3 cases of NHL were collected.Immunohistochemical method was used to label the tumor cells.Their histological types were classified by the latest WHO Classification of Tumors of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues,and then differential diagnosis with other uterus diseases was offered.Results Three cases were presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding or ejecting as the first symptom,which was easily misdiagnosed as common diseases of the uterus in preliminary clinical and pathological diagnosis.Histopathology of general uterus specimens demonstrated that case one expressed CD3,CD56,TiA-1 and so on,and detected EBV virus cells expression,which supported the diagnosis of NK/T cell lymphoma.Another two cases expressed B cell-specific markers(CD20) and so on,and these tumor cells volume was 3 times larger than that of lymphocyte.These tumor cells had high proliferation index and supported diffuse large B-cell lymphoma diagnosis.Conclusion The tumor cells are like lymphocytes.We infiltrate endometria and myometrium,which is difficult to identify from endometria stromal sarcoma and other tumors,and need to use immunohistochemistry(IHC) for definitive diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
