ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The primary lymphoma of genitourinary tract is very rare and reported sporadically in Korea. Therefore the aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical characteristics with therapeutic outcome in 15 cases of primary lymphoma of genitourinary tract.METHODS:
Reviewed retrospectively medical records of 15 cases with primary lymphoma of genitourinary tract who had been diagnosed from January, 1990 to May, 2002, we analysed the clinical characteristics, stage, disease free survival and overall survival.RESULTS:
There were 8 cases of lymphoma of testis, 3 cases of uterine cervix and body, 1 case of ovary, 1 case of vagina, and 2 cases of kidney. The histologic types were all diffuse large B cell, except 5 cases (3 cases T/NK cell, 1 case low grade MALT lymphoma, and 1 case precursor B cell lymphoblastic lymphoma). The median survival duration of all cases is 8.0 months, showing the similarity to that of testis lymphoma (7.0 months).CONCLUSION:
In comparison with the prognosis of the lymphomas in uterine body and cervix, it was worse for the testicular and renal lymphoma, even though 3 cases of T/NK cell lymphoma impacted on the prognosis of testicular lymphoma. Therefore, with simultaneous elucidation of the prognostic factors systemically, therapeutic strategy must be continuously sought.
