Abstract
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is a monoclonal proliferation of lymphoid cells of B cell (70%) and T cell (30%) origin. Primary lymphomas of uterine cervix are rare. Central nervous system involvement can occur as a late manifestation of NHL and may include mass lesions and meningeal infiltration. This is a rare case of uterine cervical non hodgkins lymphoma presented as cavernous sinus syndrome.
