Involvement of the female genital tract by non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma is extremely rare. Here is the report of a patient who presented as a bilateral malignant ovarian tumour and was diagnosed by laparotomy and subsequent histopathology to have non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma of both ovaries and appendix. The patient had radical surgery followed by multiagent chemotherapy and is alive without disease at one year of follow‐up.
