Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The lymphomatous processes involving ovary is extremely rare. Lymphomas presenting as an initial manifestation in ovary is rarer. The clinical outcome and patient survival in cases of ovarian lymphoma depends on characterization of the variety of non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma. We report an extremely rare case of 33 year old female with ovarian Burkitt lymphoma, clinico- radiologically mimicking acute abdomen with left twisted ovarian cyst. The routine laboratory evaluation was unremarkable. The diagnosis of malignant ovarian lymphoma was made on histopathology and immunohistochemistry of the excised tissue.
