Indian J Med Paediatr Oncol. 2009 Jan;30(1):28-30. doi: 10.4103/0971-5851.56333.

Abstract

The involvement of the ovary in lymphomatous processes is rare. Such an involvement can occur in 2 ways, either primary or secondary, which usually presents with abdominal or pelvic complaints. We present a case of secondary involvement of the ovary with occult extra-ovarian nodal disease and discuss the histogenesis of ovarian lymphomas with criteria for diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Keywords: Ovary; lymphoma.
