Lymphoma rarely presents with initial involvement of the uterine corpus, though disseminated disease may well involve the pelvic organs secondarily. We treated a patient for Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting as pelvic serositis found at hysterectomy for refractory pelvic pain. Nodules consistent with Hodgkin's lymphoma were found within the uterine serosa and muscularis as well as throughout the uterine and tubal lymphatics, but no visible or palpable adenopathy was noted in the pelvis or abdomen or peripherally. Following surgery the patient developed signs and symptoms of widespread lymphoma, which developed fulminantly but responded well initially to standard chemotherapy. This is the first reported case of systemic Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting de novo in the uterine corpus and associated with clinical symptoms referable to the female reproductive tract.

Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the ovary is a rare occurrence. An ovarian involvement by non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) may include one of the four subtypes of lymphoma: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma (BL), lymphoblastic lymphoma or anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Burkitt's lymphoma is a rare entity with a specific poorly differentiated pattern.Most women experience an ovarian BL with abdominal pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal bleeding, bowel obstruction, urinary frequency, incontinence and abdominal mass. Sometimes these warning signs may be absent, causing a late and more difficult diagnosis.Here we report a case of a primary ovarian Burkitt's lymphoma with bilateral involvement in a 57 year old patient. She firstly presented neurological symptoms in the upper limbs and she was treated with surgery and combined chemotherapy. The diagnosis of malignant lymphoma was established after bilateral adnexectomy and histological study of the excised tissue.
