“…Despite the limited role of surgery in ovarian lymphoma, the majority of reported patients underwent laparotomic or laparoscopic exploration on the basis of the acute clinical presentation and the suspicion of adnexal torsion ( 3 , 21 , 22 ); in the present case, the patient complained of lower abdominal pain that was interpreted as a sign of vascular compression, and surgical exploration was therefore warranted.…”

Case report: Primary ovarian Burkitt's lymphoma: A puzzling scenario in pediatric population

Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is defined as a highly invasive B-cell lymphoma, usually characterized by an excellent prognosis, more than 90% of children and adolescents being cured with highly dose-intensive multiagent chemotherapy. Primary ovarian localization without involvement of other organs is a rare manifestation of BL, especially in pediatric population. Symptoms at diagnosis are similar to other ovarian lesions and differential diagnosis may be challenging for clinicians. A 12-year-old girl was referred to our institution for abdominal pain and palpable mass observed by the pediatrician. Diagnostic work-up demonstrated a large mass arising from the right ovary, causing compression on abdominal aorta, inferior vena cava, ureters and bowel, with a second smaller lesion on the left ovary. At surgery, a 15 cm-large, ruptured mass arising from the right ovary was found, associated with a second lesion originating from the left ovary (8 cm) and multiple nodules of the greater omentum. Right salpingo-oophorectomy was performed, incisional biopsies were taken from the left ovary and omental nodules and peritoneal fluid samples were collected for cytology. Pathology revealed a Burkitt lymphoma and the patient underwent chemotherapy according to AIEOP LNH-97 Protocol, group R3 with Rituximab. Preoperative diagnosis of primary ovarian lymphoma is extremely difficult. Surgical exploration is often necessary in patients presenting with acute abdominal or pelvic pain; when the suspicion of primary ovarian lymphoma arises intraoperatively, every effort should be made to minimize invasive procedure in order to enhance post-operative recovery.

“…There are very few cases of bilateral ovarian lymphoma reported in literature as that reported by Pourghasemian et al [5] who reported isolated bilateral ovarian Burkitt lymphoma in a case presenting with an ovarian mass and right adnexal torsion, which was expected as the mass was 12x 10 cm. with a long pedicle, treated by adnexectomy and sent for histo-pathological examination the current study the tumor markers in their cases were all normal; however, their patient was a fourteen years old girl, unlike the current case which was twenty-two.…”

Introduction: Primary lymphomas in the ovary are rare, and it represents less than 0.5% of primary ovarian tumors.Case: A 22-year-old unmarried woman presented with progressive abdominal enlargement. MRI revealed bilateral suspicious adnexal masses managed by laparotomy. Histo-pathological examination revealed Bilateral Burkitt lymphoma. Conclusion: Ovarian lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of malignant ovarian masses regardless of the age of the patient.

Lymphoma is a malignant tumour of the lymphatic system with an incidence rate of about 6.6 per 100,000 people. Among the many lymphoma types, the most common is non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Lymphomas are common in the gastrointestinal tract, breast, neck, etc., while those in female genital tracts are rare. In this article, we report four cases of primary female genital system lymphoid malignancies diagnosed and treated at our hospital from 2018 to 2023, with a systematic review.
