Abstract

Primary ovarian lymphoma presenting with ovarian mass as a primary disease is extremely rare.  We report here a case of primary ovarian B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma with bilateral involvement which was managed by surgery and chemotherapy. A 35 years old woman was admitted with signs and symptoms suggestive of ovarian cancer. The diagnosis of malignant lymphoma was established after bilateral adnexectomy, histological and immunohistochemical study of the excised tissue. The stage was I ES according to Ann-Arbor staging system. The patient was planned for R-CHOP chemotherapy, but due to unaffordbility patient was treated with 06 cycles of standard CHOP regimen and had completed her treatment. She has now been on follow-up and is without disease from 15 months of treatment.
