“…Survival in this group was shorter and prognosis poorer than in other types of malignant lymphoma. This is in agreement with other reported series (Jackson and Parker, 1947;Lumb, 1954;Hurst and Meyer, 1961;Rosenberg et al, 1961;Symmers, 1966).…”

“…This is similar to reports from parts of Africa populated by Negroes (Camain and Lambert, 1964;Davies, 1964;Edington and Maclean, 1964;Oettle, 1964;Wright and Roberts, 1966), as well as those from Asia (Chae Koo Lee et al, 1965;Desai et al, 1965). The features of cases in the present study were 4 similar to those described in other series (Lumb, 1954;Hurst and Meyer, 1961;Rosenberg et al, 1961;Dorfman, 1964;Symmers, 1966).…”

“…The age and sex incidence of patients with lymphosarcoma were similar to other reported series (Jackson and Parker, 1947;Lumb, 1954;Rosenberg et al, 1961) as was the clinical presentation, except for the fact that generalised peripheral lymphadenopathy was much more common in the present study. Anaemia was more frequent.…”

“…McMahon (1966) as a result of careful epidemiological studies confirmed these findings as regards Hodgkin's disease, and this has been supported by Lukes et al (1966). A lower incidence in the American Negro has been observed in other types of malignant lymphoma by Rosenberg et al (1961). The paucity of giant follicular lymphoma in the Negro has been noted by Rappaport et al (1956), Hurst and Meyer (1961), and Oettle (1964), and has been stressed by Dorfman (1964).…”

A clinico-pathological study of malignant lymphoma in Jamaica was undertaken to examine the disease pattern in a predominantly negro population of West African origin. During a 9-year period (1958-66) 260 histologically verified cases of malignant lymphoma were encountered. The distribution of the different histological types was as follows: Hodgkin's disease 50.9%, lymphosarcoma 33%, reticulum cell sarcoma 14.2%, giant follicular lymphoma 1.9%. No cases of Burkitt's tumour were encountered. This study indicates that malignant lymphoma is not uncommon in Jamaica, and that its distribution pattern is similar to that observed in Europe and North America, except for the paucity of giant follicular lymphoma, and is different from the pattern observed in parts of Africa populated by Negroes, where Burkitt's tumour is the most common type, and where Hodgkin's disease is relatively uncommon. The age and sex incidence was in general similar to other reported series, but the duration of symptoms was short. The majority of patients presented with generalised peripheral lymphadenopathy. Hepatosplenomegaly and anaemia were common on admission. The prognosis was generally poor in comparison with European and North American series due to advanced stage of disease on presentation.

“…In autopsy studies of patients with NHL, disease in the uterus was found in approximately 0.5% (17)(18)(19). The uterus is affected more commonly by chronic lymphocytic leukemia: 7.1 to 14.0% of patients have had uterine involvement (18,20).…”

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas Involving the Uterus: A Clinicopathologic Analysis of 26 Cases

et al. 2000

Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) involving the uterus may be either low-stage neoplasms that probably arise in the uterus (primary) or systemic neoplasms with secondary involvement. In this study, 26 NHL involving the uterus are reported. Ten cases were stage I E or II E and are presumed to be primary. The mean age of patients at presentation was 55 years (range, 35 to 67 years), and abnormal uterine bleeding was the most frequent complaint (six patients). Nine of 10 tumors involved the cervix. Histologically, eight were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL); one was follicle center lymphoma, follicular, grade 1; and one was marginal zone B-cell lymphoma. At 5 years of clinical followup, five of six patients were alive after treatment. In 12 cases, uterine involvement was part of a systemic disease at diagnosis, either stage III E or IV. The mean patient age at the time that uterine involvement was detected was 58 years (range, 22 to 75 years); 6 of 12 had abnormal uterine bleeding. Six tumors involved both cervix and corpus, four corpus, and two cervix. Six were DLBCL; two were small lymphocytic lymphoma; three were follicle center lymphoma, follicular, grade 1 (two cases) or grade 2 (one case); and one was precursor T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. At 5 years of clinical follow-up, two of seven patients were alive after treatment. Four DLBCL arose in patients with incomplete clinical information; therefore, stage is unknown. We conclude that low-stage (presumably primary) uterine NHL are most commonly DLBCL, predominantly arise in the cervix, and cause abnormal uterine bleeding. High-stage NHL are a heterogeneous group of B-cell neoplasms that can involve the cervix or the corpus.
