description | PURPOSE: This review presents the information about epidemiology, clinical manifestation, diagnosis and treatment of primary ovarian Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL), including a literature search of available BL cases. The purpose of this review is to draw clinicians’ attention to the possibility of ovarian BL occurrence, which may be important in the differential diagnosis of ovarian tumours. METHODS: PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched using the keywords ‘‘Burkitt’s’’, ‘‘Lymphoma’’, ‘‘Ovarian’’, ‘‘Primary’’, ‘‘Burkitt’s lymphoma’’. Only cases with histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of primary ovarian BL were included in this review. RESULTS: Fifty articles, reporting cases with an ovarian manifestation of primary non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, were found. Twenty-one cases with a histopathologically confirmed BL were evaluated to compare various manifestations, treatment and prognosis in ovarian BL. CONCLUSIONS: Primary ovarian BL is a rare condition, included in the entity of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The tumour can occur uni- or bilaterally in the ovaries with major symptoms such as abdominal pain or a large abdominal mass. Differential diagnosis, based on imaging features and pathological examination of the specimens, is essential for further treatment due to various aetiology of ovarian tumours. Although most of the patients suffering from ovarian BL underwent surgery after the ovarian tumour had been detected, surgical treatment is not the treatment of choice in patients with ovarian lymphoma. The mainstay of therapy is chemotherapy without further surgery. The prognosis is better if the chemotherapy protocol is more aggressive and followed by prophylactic central nervous system chemotherapy. Nowadays, multiagent protocols are administered, which improves the survival rate. |
