Abstract
Abstract
Burkitt’s Lymphoma is a highly malignant B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that is extremely sensitive to intensified chemotherapy and its occurrence is closely associated with Epstein-Barr virus. Extranodal lymphoma often involves the gastrointestinal tract, but primary gastrointestinal lymphoma is rare, and primary gastric Burkitt’s Lymphoma is even rarer. We report a case of upper abdominal distension, eventually diagnosed as primary Burkitt’s Lymphoma of the stomach, including clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment. The patient showed favorable treatment response to intensified combination chemotherapy. We evaluate treatment response through endoscopy and radiological tests. This report suggested that primary gastric Burkitt’s Lymphoma is a rare yet treatable disease. The etiology and prognosis of Burkitt’s Lymphoma need to be explored in the future.
