Abstract
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 s.
