Abstract

Global incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is 3% of which 1% occurs in extranodal lymphoma. Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare and aggressive variant of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). It is usually seen in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients. PBL occurring in extranodal site, particularly female genital tract, is very rare, and only few case reports have been reported. Here, we report a unique rare case of uterine PBL in an HIV/Epstein-Barr virus-negative patient that was initially diagnosed as endometrioid carcinoma.
