ABSTRACT
Involvement of female genital track (FGT) by diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents an extremely rare diagnosis. Especially data regarding early-stage disease (i.e., IE, IIE) is very limited. Importantly, previous studies showed controversial results about the risk of central nervous system (CNS) relapse in this entity. Herein, we describe one of the largest reported real-world series of patients with early-stage FGT DLBCL aiming to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, response to therapy and survival outcomes in the era of immunochemotherapy. We analyzed 21 consecutive patients with biopsy proven DLBCL from uterus or ovary classified as stage IE or IIE out of 1905 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients (1.1%). Uterine and ovarian localization was observed in 14 and seven patients, respectively. Median age was 66 years (range 33-96); 9/21 (43%) were <55 years. Regarding Cell of Origin DLBCL subtype, Germinal Center B-cell subtype was found in seven patients, non-GCB in 10 and non-classified in 4 patients. Median follow-up was 57 months and 5-year overall survival, lymphoma specific survival and Freedom from Progression were 78%, 89% and 90%, respectively. There was no correlation of patients' characteristics with survival parameters. Interestingly, none of the patients experienced CNS relapse. Our results indicate that localized FGT DLBCL exhibits a good prognosis and may not increase the risk for secondary CNS involvement.
