“…Unfortunately, these studies did not provide insight into the risk of ovarian involvement in different types of lymphoma. Case studies have indicated that ovarian metastases could occur in patients suffering from Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, large and small cell lymphoma, mixed lymphocytic histiocytic and lymphocytic lymphoma, lymphosarcoma and follicular lymphoblastoma (Epperson, 1950;Hahn, 1958;Nelson et al, 1958;Woodruff et al, 1963;Ziegler and Miller, 1966;Finkle and Goldman, 1974;Halpin, 1975;Armon, 1976;Rotmensch and Woodruff, 1982;Gupta et al, 1983;Osborne and Robboy, 1983;Konje et al, 1989;Liang et al, 1990;Monterroso et al, 1993;Skinner et al, 1993;McCarville et al, 2001;Bittinger et al, 2011;Pudasaini et al, 2011).…”

BACKGROUND The risk of recurrent oncological disease due to the reintroduction of cancer cells via autotransplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue is unknown. METHODS A systematic review of literature derived from MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library was conducted. Studies on follow-up after autotransplantation; detection of cancer cells in ovarian tissue from oncological patients by histology, polymerase chain reaction or xenotransplantation; and epidemiological data on ovarian metastases were included. RESULTS A total of 289 studies were included. Metastases were repeatedly detected in ovarian tissue obtained for cryopreservation purposes from patients with leukaemia, as well as in one patient with Ewing sarcoma. No metastases were detected in ovarian tissue from lymphoma and breast cancer patients who had their ovarian tissue cryopreserved. Clinical studies indicated that one should be concerned about autotransplantation safety in patients with colorectal, gastric and endometrial cancer. For patients with low-stage cervical carcinoma, clinical data were relatively reassuring, but studies focused on the detection of metastases were scarce. Oncological recurrence has been described in one survivor of cervical cancer and one survivor of breast cancer who had their ovarian tissue autotransplanted, although these recurrences may not be related to the transplantation. CONCLUSIONS It is advisable to refrain from ovarian tissue autotransplantation in survivors of leukaemia. With survivors of all other malignancies, current knowledge regarding the safety of autotransplantation should be discussed. The most reassuring data regarding autotransplantation safety were found for lymphoma patients.

“…It is not therefore surprising that the reported incidence varies considerably from series to series. Hahn (1958) found evidence of genital involvement in 4% of a group of 742 cases of lymphoma. Sugarbaker and Craver (1940) found only one case of genital involvement in 196 cases of lymphoma; Jackson and Parker (1947) reported involvement in three out of 59 cases and Naumann (1947) in three out of 86 cases.…”

SYNOPSISThe clinical and pathological findings in a 59-year-old woman with a primary malignant lymphoma of the corpus uteri are described. There was a period of eight months between detection of the uterine lesion and evidence of disease elsewhere in the body. The patient died of disseminated lymphoma, and the distribution of secondary deposits were suggestive of spread via the right ovarian-uterine venous system.

“…The leukemias and malignant lymphomas of the vulva have been reported upon infrequently [13,14,16,22,28]. Acute leukemia produces charakteristic generalized cutaneous mani festations related to hemorrhagic phenomena and minor epidermal ulcerations, but there has been scant appreciation of very rare lesions localized in the vulvar area and there is only scattered recognition regarding leukemia affecting the entire female reproductive tract [16].…”
