ABSTRACT: Primary ovarian Burkitt's lymphoma is a rare tumour predominantly affecting children and young adults. We report here on a 17-year-old pregnant woman with a Burkitt's lymphoma of the left ovary. After tumour removal and induced abortion, the patient underwent polychemotherapy. Full remission was achieved 7 months after the initial diagnosis.
