Synchronous malignancies are rare diagnostic and treatment challenges. Here we present three cases of synchronous ovarian cancer and lymphoma. Both malignancies were recognised in the same histopathology sections. This report discusses diagnosis and management dilemmas with a brief literature review. The simultaneous presentation of ovarian cancer and lymphoma has not previously been reported.

Characterisation of an indeterminate ovarian mass is important as it guides management and clinical outcomes. Ultrasound is the first-line modality in the assessment of ovarian tumours. When ovarian masses are indeterminate on ultrasound, MRI provides excellent resolution in tissue characterisation and enhancement patterns.

Purpose: Ovarian mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is the most common ovarian tumor, and only a small fraction undergoes malignant transformation. The most prevalent malignant type of the ovary is squamous cell carcinoma, followed by adenocarcinoma. However, ruptured ovarian mature cystic teratoma with adenocarcinoma transformation is extremely rare.

The reproductive lifespan of female mammals is determined by the size of the primordial follicle pool, which comprises oocytes enclosed by a layer of flattened pre-granulosa cells. Oocyte differentiation needs acquiring organelles and cytoplasm from sister germ cells in cysts, but the mechanisms regulating this process remain unknown. Previously helicase for meiosis 1 (HFM1) is reported to be related to the development of premature ovarian insufficiency.

Purpose: To evaluate the main factors influencing anxiety in endometriosis patients presenting to an endometriosis centre in Germany.
Methods: One hundred and eighty-two patients were asked to complete the German version of the STAI (state anxiety and trait anxiety) questionnaire prior to examination for diagnosis and treatment of pelvic pain or suspected endometriosis. Typical endometriosis symptoms, main complaints, operations, type of endometriosis and planned treatment were analyzed as influencing factors of anxiety in endometriosis patients.

Through a comprehensive retrospective analysis of a 52-year-old woman with primary ovarian lymphoma (POL) and a review of similar cases over the past decade in the PubMed database, we gained several key insights into improving the understanding of POL among clinicians and radiologists for accurate diagnosis. POL is more prevalent among women in their 40s and usually presents with clinical manifestations of a solid mass (typically over 10 cm) and abdominal pain with B symptoms. Four imaging features show promise as indicators of potential diagnostic value in POL: the ovarian retention sign, touching ovaries, vascular floatation, and the sandwich sign.
