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.

Primer ovariyan Burkitt's lenfoma (BL) nadir görülen neoplazmdır ve tanısı histolojik olarak gösterilmektedir. 23 yaşında multigravid kadın abdominal distansiyon, pelvik ağrı ve yüksek ateş şikayetleriyle kliniğimize başvurmuştur. Bu vakada laparotomi öncesi BL olarak düşünülen pelvik kitlenin yönetimini ve bizim yaklaşımımızı sunduk. BL tanısı laparotomi sırasında frozen materyalinden saptanmıştır. Cerrahi tedaviye kombine kemoterapi eklenmiştir. Nadir görülmesine karşın BL genç hastalardaki pelvik kitlenin ayırıcı tanısında göz önünde tutulmalıdır.
