Abstract

Burkitt’s lymphoma is a highly aggressive pathological entity that only exceptionally presents primarily with gynecological involvement. We report the case of a 39-year-old woman with gynecological and mammary Burkitt’s lymphoma who required surgery for acute abdomen. Early diagnosis and treatment are required in this disease. Treatment consists of urgent multidrug therapy, and the possible complications are resolved through surgical intervention.
