Immunohistochemical study in a case of primitive lymphoma of the uterine cervix.

An immunohistochemical study using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique was conducted in a case of primitive lymphoma of the uterine cervix. The antibodies used were: epithelial membrane antigen, leucocyte common antigen, Lambda, Kappa, lysozome and alpha 1-antichymotripsine. A positive reaction for leucocyte common antigen and Lampda demonstrated a B-cell plasmacytoid lymphocytic lymphoma, a tumour of haemopoietic origin.
