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.
卵巢淋巴瘤较为罕见。以卵巢肿块为首发表现的淋巴瘤更为罕见。我们报告一例52岁女性左卵巢原发性非霍奇金淋巴瘤（NHL），患者表现为腹部膨隆和下腹部背痛。超声检查（USG）和计算机断层扫描（CT）成像提示初步诊断为卵巢肿瘤。通过对切除组织进行组织病理学检查并结合使用淋巴细胞共同抗原（LCA）、CD20、细胞角蛋白和CD3进行免疫组织化学检查，确诊为恶性淋巴瘤。该肿瘤被分类为弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤。这种病变的罕见性值得一提。
