[Malignant lymphomas of the vulva and vagina]

Primary appearance of a malignant lymphoma in the vulvovaginal region is extremely rare. In this paper, we report on three such cases we observed during the last few years. There was no difference in clinical manifestation compared to cancer of the vulva/vagina. The diagnosis was made using histological and immunohistochemical methods. Choice of the treatment depended upon the stage of malignancy and spreading of the tumourous changes (radiation, chemotherapy). On reviewing the literature of the last 15 years, we could not find any description of primary malignant lymphoma in the vulva and vaginal region.
