title: [Burkitt lymphoma involving the ovaries].
abstract: 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.
