Plasmablastic
lenfoma (PBL) is a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)’s variant form that is
especially reported in HIV-infected patients. PBL is a rare entity seen most
commonly in the setting of immunocompromise. However, this disease may present
in extraoral sites in which the genital tract appears to be the less common. Here
we present a patient with uterine and fallopian mass diagnosed PBL. A 51-year-old
multipara (G6P4C2) woman with a chief complaint of irregular vaginal bleeding
was presented to our outpatient clinic. She had a prior history of breast
cancer treated by right mastectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy.Transvaginal
ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging both showed an uterine mass
thought to be leiomyoma, which 4×3 cm in size on the anterior wall of uterin
corpus. The pathology result of the mass was found to be plasmablastic
lymphoma. Genital involvement also appears to be last but possible site option to
find PBL focus in immunocompetent patients.
