Burkitt’s Lymphoma mostly occurs in children. The disease sometimes can be represented as a pelvic mass in adults. Burkitt’s lymphoma should be remembered in differential diagnosis of the pelvic masses. Because of the common character of the disease, the history and symptoms of the patient should be asked carrefully. We report an ovarian Burkitt’s lymphoma of a reproductive age woman consulted to our clinic with acute abdominal pain and pelvic mass.
