Abstract

Lymphomatous involvement of the ovary is rare. Involvement is either primary or secondary. The most common clinical features are abdominal and pelvic complaints. We here present a case of a 38 years old woman without any symptoms, that we have found incidentally, a rare case of primary ovarian lymphoma.
