Abstract
Involvement of the ovary with malignant lymphoma is a well-known late manifestation of disseminated nodal disease. Primary ovarian Burkitt lymphoma is very rare and mainly affects young children. We present a case of a 25-year old woman at 37 weeks pregnant with sporadic Burkitt lymphoma who presented as having ovarian cancer. The patient was managed via elective cesarean section and unilateral oophorectomy. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical stains were carried out, revealing non-Hodgkin B-cell Burkitt lymphoma. After the diagnosis, the patient was referred to the oncology center for chemotherapy.
