Primary lymphoma of the uterus and cervix is rarely encountered. We present two cases of diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma of the cervix and uterus that were treated with R‐CHOP chemotherapy followed by pelvic radiotherapy. The women are disease free 20 and 19 months after the diagnosis respectively. Seventy‐two cases of primary uterine and cervical lymphoma reported in the English literature in the last 10 years from 2000 to 2010 are reviewed.
