[Burkitt lymphoma involving the ovaries].
Burkitt lymphoma is a very rare type of lymphoma with a predilection for the ovary. We report a case of 18-years old woman with dramatic course of the Burkitt lymphoma involving ovaries. Immunohistochemistry techniques allowed for the diagnosis and the successful chemotherapy. The case demonstrates the importance of an appropriate pathology evaluation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
