Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative uterine plasmablastic lymphoma on ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT

Abstract

Plasmablastic lymphoma is a rare and aggressive variant of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with plasmablastic features, which commonly occurs in the oral cavity of human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients. Here, we present a case of plasmablastic lymphoma involving the uterus in a 54-year-old human immunodeficiency virus-negative female patient. The torso positron emission tomography/CT scan revealed intense 18F-fludeoxyglucose uptake in a bulky uterus with multiple sites of metastatic disease including peritoneal seeding.

Transient Atypical Lymphoplasmacytic Proliferation in Endometrium Associated With Pyometra: a Case Report

“…14 Plasmablastic lymphoma in the uterus is very rarely reported. After excluding secondary involvement, 15 we identi ed four reported cases of patients aged 47 years 16 , 54 years 17 , 61 years 18 , and 85 years, respectively. 19 Only the 61-year-old patient was HIV-positive, while the others were HIV-negative.…”
