Summary
Primary ovarian lymphoma has been described as a very rare occurrence accounting for 0.5-1% of all non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, but secondary involvement of the ovaries by lymphoma may occur more frequently at late stage (20-30%) [1,2,3,4]. Primary ovarian lymphoma is a relatively rare entity, and its diagnosis is generally unpredicted until histological examination completed. A 73-year-old female patient presented with 1-month history of progressive pleural effusion and ascites. Abdomen and chest imaging revealed a 10-cm sized heterogenous solid mass arising from the right ovary with large amount of ascites and right pleural effusion.
