Abstract:
Primary ovarian lymphomas are rare tumors presenting as an ovarian mass that can mimic an epithelial ovarian tumor. The average age of onset is 40 years. Burkitt lymphomas, sporadic in the Western world, typically present with abdominal involvement. Biological tests and imaging guide the diagnosis. Prognosis depends on associated bone marrow and central nervous system involvement. Treatment relies on polychemotherapy. Here, we report a case of Burkitt's lymphoma in a young woman simulating advanced bilateral ovarian cancer.
