Abstract

Burkitts lymphoma which shows widespread multi-organ involvement with relative sparing of peripheral lymph nodes and spleen is a highly malignant neoplasm of lymphoreticular system. Ever since the tumor was first recognized as jaw sarcoma among East African childrens(Burkitt; 1958), it has continued to be the subject of intensive epidemiologic, immunologic, etiologic, histochemical and ultrastructural studies. The classic light microscopic criteria of the Burkitts lymphome are; 1. the starry-sky appearance produced by the presence of non-neoplastic phagocytic histiocytes in a field of monomorphic undifferentiated lymphoreticular cells, 2. the histochemical triad of pyroninophilia, osmiophilia and PAS negativity in tumor cells. Electron microscopy not only reveals the characteristic nuclear and nucleolar features of the primitive lymphoreticular cells but also documents the presence in the cytoplasm of abundant ribosomes, frequent lipid inclusions, and absence of glycogen particles. I case of Burkitt`s lymphoma in the both ovaries which seemed to be one of the favorite sites of tumor was reported here. The patient was 18-year-old female and complained of lower abdominal palpable mass. A brief review of the literatures was also made.
