The female genital lymphomas are an extremely rare disease accounting for less than 0.5% of gynecological cancers and for 1.5% of all NHL. Because of their low incidence there is no widely accepted consensus on its treatment. Literature data support a radiotherapy-based treatment in case of primary genital lymphomas stages I-II. The role of chemotherapy as neoadjuvant or exclusive treatment is still to be defined.
