This case report details a 43-year-old with Burkitt lymphoma presenting with gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms. Early diagnosis and risk stratification are crucial for effective treatment of this aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Non-Hodgkin lymphomas frequently affect the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Burkitt lymphoma is an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • Accurate diagnosis and staging are critical for patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 43-year-old patient presented with abdominal discomfort, weight loss, constipation, and neurological symptoms.
  • Differential diagnosis included inflammatory and other tumorous diseases.
  • The patient was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma located in the small intestine.

Findings:

  • Tumor burden, indicated by serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, is a key prognostic factor.
  • Abdominal mass, bone marrow, and central nervous system (CNS) involvement are negative prognostic indicators.

  • CNS invasion signifies a poor prognosis if not treated promptly.

    • Implications:

    • High-dose cyclophosphamide and methotrexate are established treatments for Burkitt lymphoma.
    • Relapses often occur during or shortly after treatment, necessitating risk stratification.
    • Identifying high-risk patients is essential to tailor therapy and avoid over-treatment in lower-risk individuals.
