Abstract

Primary pelvic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a rare malignancy that has been reported in the retroperitoneum, ovary, uterine corpus, uterine cervix, vagina and vulva. Although primary pelvic lymphoma is rare, this may be encountered more frequently as the incidence of extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma increases. We experienced three cases of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the pelvis. Two cases are primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the ovary and one is primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the retroperitoneum. We report these cases with a brief review of literature.
