Summary
A 37-year-old woman from Puerto Rico was incidentally found to have bilateral ovarian masses during a laparoscopy for sterilization. CT of the abdomen and pelvis with contrast showed bilateral large heterogeneous adnexal masses with large ascites and right pleural effusion. Tumour markers CA 125 was 766 U/mL and lactate dehydrogenase was 654 U/L. She underwent total laparoscopy hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection and partial omentectomy. Pathology of ovarian masses revealed a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The staging work-up was negative, which pointed towards the diagnosis of primary ovarian lymphoma. The patient completed 8 cycles of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone chemotherapy. After 18 months of chemotherapy completion, she remains in remission.
