We report a case of primary nonHodgkin lymphoma (NHL) of the uterine corpus, diagnosed by endometrial biopsy, in a 60-year-old patient suffering from uterine bleeding. Pathological analysis had concluded to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Further staging had not revealed other nodal or extranodal localization (Ann Arbor stage IE) and there were no signs of recurrence during follow-up. Therefore, the diagnostic criteria for true primary NHL of the uterine corpus were met. This localization is extremely rare since only six cases have previously been published. The patient was successfully treated by an immunochemotherapy combining rituximab-CHOP and rituximab-VCAP. After 28 months of follow-up, she is free from the disease. A review of the literature regarding these exceptional tumors is undertaken.
