description Vaginal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a rare entity. We report a case of a 38-year-old lady who presented with complaints of lower abdominal pain for three to four months and vaginal bleeding for one month. Her examination under general anesthesia revealed a hard vaginal mass which was biopsied and immunohistochemistry was performed. Diagnosis of diffuse B‑cell NHL (DLBCL) was made. Imaging plays an important role to reach the diagnosis. Chemotherapy is the treatment of choice.
