Endometrial polyp harboring a primary B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma: a useful in-office hysteroscopic approach.

Endometrial polyp harboring a primary B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma: a useful in-office hysteroscopic approach. Eur J Gynaecol Oncol. 2016 08;37(4):572-574 Authors: Indraccolo U, Ranaldi R, Mirabile M, Centurioni R Abstract A non-menopausal women underwent gynecological evaluation for spotting and menstrual irregularities. After first line gynecological assessments, the patient underwent office hysteroscopy. By using an in-office technique, two isthmic endometrial polyps and one cervical polyp were removed. One endometFial polyp was found to harbor a B-cell high-grade lymphoma just on the apex (found to be necrotic). The following staging examinatioIns and the pathological assessment of the endometrium, the uterus, the adnexa, and the lymphatic regional nodes did not find any localization of the lymphoma. No additional treatments were done. The patient is alive and disease-free at 18 months follow-up. PMID: 29894088 [PubMed - in process]
