Vaginal Lymphoma: A Possible Cause of Genital Hemorrhage
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 59-year-old patient complaining of vaginal bleeding and puruloid discharge was admitted to our gynecology department. Speculum examination showed a vaginal fungating necrotic ulcerated mass. There was no palpable lymphadenopathy or hepato-splenomegaly on physical examination. Transvaginal ultrasound and abdominopelvic computed tomography demonstrated a bulky vaginal mass approximately 5x4x3 cm in diameter involving the bladder and the rectovaginal septum. With the patient’s approval, a punch biopsy was performed and failed to establish the diagnosis (small and necrotic samples that were not representative of the lesion).
