Lymphoma of the ovary: A case report and a review of the literature

Malignant lymphoma involving the ovary in cases of generalized lymphomatous disease is not infrequent in autopsy findings. Actural clinical problems involving lymphoma of the ovary are much less common. In this report a case is discussed to show an actual clinical situation that covers pre- and postoperative care and therapy. A review of the literature concerning the incidence, arguments for primary or secondary involvement of the ovary, and a variation of treatment of lymphoma of the ovary is presented.
