Burkitt's lymphoma is a rapidly progressing tumor, which could be cured in 60-80% of cases. Its infiltration of the ileo-cecal region often spreads to the ovaries, though primary ovarian manifestation is also common. By presenting our case of a 27-year-old nulliparous patient with primary ovarian Burkitt's lymphoma, we would like to draw attention to its diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties.

D002051 Burkitt Lymphoma A form of undifferentiated malignant LYMPHOMA usually found in central Africa, but also reported in other parts of the world. It is commonly manifested as a large osteolytic lesion in the jaw or as an abdominal mass. B-cell antigens are expressed on the immature cells that make up the tumor in virtually all cases of Burkitt lymphoma. The Epstein-Barr virus (HERPESVIRUS 4, HUMAN) has been isolated from Burkitt lymphoma cases in Africa and it is implicated as the causative agent in these cases; however, most non-African cases are EBV-negative.
