Abstract :
Primary ovarian Burkitt s lymphoma (BL) is a rarely seen neoplasm and the diagnosis is revealed histologically. A 23-year-old multigravid woman was admitted to our clinic, complaining with abdominal distension, pelvic pain and high body temperature. In this case we present our approach and the management of this pelvic mass was concluded as a BL before the laparotomy. The diagnosis of BL was established from the frozen specimen during exploratory laparotomy. Combined chemotherapy was administered to the surgery treatment. Although rare, BL should be consider in differential diagnosis of a pelvic mass in young patients.
