Abstract
|
|
Burkitt's lymphoma represents 1–2% of all lymphoma and displays aggressive behavior, with B cells showing rapid growth. Its presentation as intestinal intussusception is unusual. We describe case of a seven-year-old boy with intussusception due to Burkitt's lymphoma. An emergency laparotomy revealed jejunojejunal intussusception as the cause of obstruction. The patient underwent enterectomy with restoration of the bowel continuity. Pathologist diagnosed Burkitt's lymphoma. He is receiving chemotherapy and is well one month postoperatively.
