By Abhishek Thapaliya.
Abstract
BackgroundOvarian and adnexal involvement by non-Hodgkin lymphoma is uncommon and may clinically and radiologically mimic advanced epithelial ovarian malignancy.This diagnostic overlap can lead to inappropriate assumptions regarding the primary site and delay initiation of lymphoma-directed therapy.We report an unusual presentation of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) involving the bilateral adnexa, associated with extensive intra-abdominal disease, malignant ascites and pleural effusion Methods
