Plasma Cell-Rich Lymphoid Neoplasm in an Endocervical Polyp of the Uterine Cervix in a Perimenopausal 52-Year-Old Woman
Extramedullary plasmacytomas, MALT lymphomas, and plasmablastic lymphomas carry a risk of progression to multiple myeloma and systemic disease, requiring close surveillance. A total hysterectomy is the most definitive treatment for confined neoplasms. Removing the bilateral ovaries in premenopausal or perimenopausal women places the patient in surgical menopause, which is vastly detrimental to the overall health of the patient. Therefore, thoughtful consideration regarding the benefits and risks of a bilateral oophorectomy versus ovarian conservation is imperative. Additionally, plasma cell-rich lymphomas are not estrogen-driven cancers like other gynecologic cancers, which support ovarian conservation.
