ABSTRACT
Primary lymphomas of the ovary are extremely rare; their definitive diagnosis requires correlation of the clinical, radiological, and pathological findings. Secondary ovarian lymphomas are well known. We report a case of primary Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma of ovary in a 9 year old female child with unilateral involvement, which was managed by salpingo-opherectomy and chemotherapy. Computed tomography revealed a large abdominal pelvic mass, without associated loco-regional or distant lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis of malignant lymphoma was established by histological study of the excised tissue. The case is rare because of its primary nature and location in this age group. Prognosis of primary ovarian lymphoma is the same as that of other primary nodal lymphomas. The authors aim to highlight the importance of considering this as a differential diagnosis in appropriate clinico-radiological scenario.
