Ah. Dao, MALIGNANT-LYMPHOMA OF THE OVARY - REPORT OF A CASE SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED WITH SURGERY AND CHEMOTHERAPY, Gynecologic oncology (Print), 70(1), 1998, pp. 137-140
Incidental finding of a primary malignant lymphoma of the ovary in a 2
0-year-old patient is presented. Two and a half years following ablati
ve surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy, the patient is alive and disease
free. Ovarian lymphoma is a disease of reportedly poor prognosis. How
ever, many previously reported cases of ovarian lymphoma actually repr
esented ovarian involvement by a more diffuse lymphomatous process. If
stringent criteria are used for case selection, true primary ovarian
lymphoma usually carries a favorable prognosis. (C) 1998 Academic Pres
