Ovarian lymphoma is an uncommon malignancy with the incidence of primary ovarian lymphoma being ever rarer.

Postmenopausal bleeding (PMB) is not a symptom that is usually associated with ovarian pathology. This case report gives an account of how the patient presented to us, and the investigations and treatments offered that led to the final outcome.
