Burkitt's lymphoma is an aggressive type of B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma accounting for approximately 34% of lymphomas occurring in children. Non endemic Burkitt's lymphoma frequently involves abdomen and present with symptoms of bowel obstruction secondary to ileo-caecal intussusception caused by tumor growth, obstruction or bleeding and mimicking acute appendicitis. Histologically Burkitt's lymphoma is characterized by diffuse atypical lymphoid infiltrate composed of monomorphic lymphoid cells and "starry-sky" appearance. We are reporting the case of an 8 year old Nepali male who presented to our hospital with intussuseption secondary to mass which was histologically and innumohistochemically consistent with Burkitt's lymphoma.

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
