Primary lymphoma of the ovary - A case report and critical review of the literature

Primary lymphoma of the ovary is an extremely rare cause of ovarian mass. Few cases have been recorded in English literature, and controversy still exists as to the existence of such an entity. We present a case whose diagnosis can be supported by rigorous diagnostic criteria - a long follow-up after surgery with only one course of adjunctive polychemotherapy. This case, together with a review of the literature, will enrich our knowledge on the issue and on the treatment of these patients.
