Primary ovarian lymphoma and benign Brenner tumor

Primary ovarian lymphomas are rare, accounting for 0.5% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas and 1.5% of all ovarian neoplasms. A majority of them are diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) [1]. Transitional cell tumors are surface epithelial tumors, which include benign, borderline, and malignant Brenner tumors and transitional cell carcinoma, accounting for 1.5% of all ovarian tumors. In 25% of all Brenner tumor cases, a coexisting tumor can be found. The coexisting tumor is usually mucinous cystic tumor, serous cystadenoma, or cystic dermoid teratoma [2].
