Abstract

Primary lymphoma of the uterus is a rare disease, the reported characteristic MR imaging findings being homogeneous intermediate signal intensity of the indistinct mass on T1- and T2-weighted images, and the preservation of endometrial lining and uterine architecture. We report a case of primary uterine lymphoma which showed tumoral necrosis, endometrial disruption and diffuse anterior vaginal wall involvement.
