Abstract

The malign, primitive and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the ovary in young child is a rare entity. Therefore, we report the observation of a 13-years-old girl who consulted for an abdominopelvic tumour. The radiological exploration suggested an ovarian tumor. The differential diagnosis was put with the germinal tumors but the biological markers were normal. The laparotomy was indicated and highlighted an unilateral ovarian tumor, and the patient benefited of an annexectomy. The histological study revealed a primary malignant and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the ovary. The assessment of extension was normal and the patient received adjuvant chemotherapy. In this case report, we are underlining the difficulty of the preoperative diagnosis, the therapeutic and the prognosis of this rare entity.
