ABSTRACT
A 65 year old woman presented with vaginal bleeding and with history of a mass in clitoris since 6 months. Biopsy of the mass which in clitoris was performed and then, the definitive histological diagnosis showed that the tumor was an extranodal diffüse large B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. A primary vulvar localization of malignant lymphomas is quite unusual. There was no difference in clinical manifestations compared between cancer of the vulva and vagina. Because of this non Hodgkings lymphoma should be considered in patient with vulvo-vaginal mass.
ÖZET
65 yaşında kadın hasta 6 aydır var olan klitoris bölgesinde kitle ve vaginal kanama şikayeti ile hastanemize başvurdu. Klitoris bölgesindeki kitleden yapılan biyopsi sonucu diffüz büyük B hücreli non-Hodgkin lenfoma olarak değerlendirildi. Malign lenfomaların primer vulvar lokalizasyonu oldukça nadirdir. Vulva/vagina kanserleri ile karşılaştırıldığında klinik olarak herhangi bir fark yoktur. Bu nedenle vulva-vaginal kitlesi olan hastalarda non-Hodgkin lenfoma düşünülmelidir.
