Abstract(s)
O envolvimento do aparelho genital feminino por linfoma é extremamente raro e frequentemente cria dificuldades diagnósticas
quando não há um certo grau de suspeita. A informação sobre o diagnóstico, tratamento e prognóstico é limitada. Estes linfomas
podem ser secundários e ocorrer no contexto de doença disseminada ou, em casos mais raros, podem ser a manifestação primária
da doença.
Neste artigo apresentamos vários casos de envolvimento do aparelho genital feminino por linfoma e uma revisão da literatura,
incluindo aspectos clínicos, radiológicos, tratamento e prognóstico.
Embora os linfomas sejam predominantemente neoplasias dos gânglios linfáticos, podem envolver outros órgãos ou tecidos e
devemos conhecer as suas manifestações, de forma a realizarmos o seu diagnóstico imediato. Os linfomas não devem ser esquecidos
uma vez que a sua abordagem é distinta e a cirurgia pode não constituir a primeira escolha terapêutica.
Lymphomas of the female genital tract are distinctly uncommon and often origin a diagnostic challenge if their existence is not suspected. The information on diagnosis, treatment and outcome is limited. They may be either secondary as a part of systemic disease or in very rare instances may primarily arise in the female genital tract. In this paper we present several cases of lymphomatous involvement of the genital tract and a revision of the literature including clinical features, imaging, treatment and outcome. Although lymphomas are predominantly neoplasm of lymph nodes, involvement of other tissues can occur and we should be aware of their manifestations for prompt diagnosis. Lymphomas should not be overlooked as the management is different and surgery may not be first line treatment.
