Abstract

Uncommon pathologic changes of the uterine cervix are rare but not impossible. Described cases of cervical lymphoma indicate the necessity of great attention and careful diagnosis. A watchful examination, imaging procedures and detailed histopathologic findings are of crucial importance in treatment planning. Each of our three patients underwent different types of treatment. A proper choice of therapeutical methods is based on individual disease and patient performance status features. In our patients, chemotherapy, radiotherapy (brachy- and teletherapy) were considered and applied as the sole method or in combination.
