Abstract
Ovarian involvement as an initial manifestation of lymphoma is a rare occurrence. A literature search reveals that the
current knowledge is limited to few case reports. Recently it has been suggested that the use of tumor necrosis factor
inhibitors (TNFIs) is associated with increased incidence of malignant lymphomas. Herein, we present a case of primary
ovarian lymphoma in a patient with severe rheumatoid arthritis receiving long-term treatment with TNFIs.
