RESUMENLos linfomas MALT de cérvix son de muy rara presentación. Se reporta el caso de una paciente de 38 años con neoplasia linfoproliferativa detectada incidentalmente en los cortes de rutina, durante el estudio anátomo-patológico de espécimen de resección producto de histerectomía total, motivada por hallazgos ecográficos compatibles con miomatosis en cuerpo uterino. La etiología de esta neoplasia está asociada a procesos infecciosos o autoinmunes, se ha descrito alta radiosensibilidad y quimiosensibilidad a la bioterapia contra anticuerpos CD20. PALABRAS CLAVE: MALT, linfoma, cuello uterino SUMMARYThe MALT-lymphomas of cervix are of very rare presentation. This is the case of a 38 years old patient in which this linfoproliferative disorder was detected incidentally in the routine cuts, during the anatomopathological study of a resection specimen product of total hysterectomy motivated by ecographic findings that were compatible with myomatosis of the uterine corpus. The etiology of these tumors is associated with infectious or autoimmune processes, and high radiosensitivity and chemosensitivity to biotherapy against antibodies CD20 (rituximab) has been described. KEY WORDS: MALT, lymphoma, uterine cervix INTRODUCCIÓNLos linfomas MALT (malignant lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) son comunes en el tracto gastrointestinal, anexos oculares y pulmones, pero extremadamente raros en el cér-vix uterino, donde las lesiones linfoproliferativas en general representan el 0,008% de los tumores primarios y el 0,2% de los linfomas extragangionares en mujeres (1,2). Reportamos un caso de linfoma MALT de cérvix, cuya presentación fue un hallazgo incidental en el estudio histológico del espécimen de resección de una histerectomía motivada por miomatosis en cuerpo uterino. Caso clínicoPaciente de 38 años de edad, a quien se le realizó histerectomía abdominal total por hallazgos ecográficos compatibles con miomatosis en cuerpo REV CHIL OBSTET GINECOL 2012; 77(6): 457 -460
