This case report describes a rare instance of primary non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma presenting as an ovarian mass in a 52-year-old female. The patient presented with abdominal distension and lower back pain, leading to imaging that initially suggested an ovarian tumor. Definitive diagnosis was achieved through histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry, identifying the condition as diffuse large B cell lymphoma. The authors emphasize the rarity of this presentation to highlight the importance of considering lymphoma in differential diagnoses for ovarian masses. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

The ovarian lymphoma is rare. Lymphoma presenting as an ovarian mass with initial manifestation is even rarer. We report a case of primary Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) of left ovary in a 52-year-old female presented with distension of abdomen and lower abdominal back pain. USG and CT-scan imaging suggested provisional diagnosis of ovarian tumour. The diagnosis of malignant lymphoma was made by histopathological examination of the excised tissue along with immunohistochemistry by using LCA, CD20, cytokeratin & CD3. The tumour was classified as diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Rarity of this lesion warrants its mention.
