Ovarian Burkitt's lymphoma diagnosed by a combination of clinical features, morphology, immunophenotype, and molecular findings and successfully managed with surgery and chemotherapy

[Ovarian Burkitt lymphoma as the primary manifestation: A case report and literature review]

Ovarian involvement as the initial manifestation of a Burkitt lymphoma without detectable extra-ovarian disease is rare, which is why it is usually not included in the differential diagnosis when an ovarian tumor is detected. A missed diagnosis will lead to the wrong treatment being given, and this can compromise any future reproductive wishes of the patient. In this article, a patient presents a Burkitt lymphoma with ovarian involvement as an initial manifestation and an unusually rapid systemic progression of the disease. Prompted by this case and its unusual course, we reviewed the existing literature.
