A CLINICAL CASE OF BURKITT LYMPHOMA IN A CHILD IN SURGICAL PRACTICE
Abstract
An urgent topic in the pathology of the abdominal organs remains the issue of differential diagnosis of diseases with different genesis, but the same focal area of the pathological process with similar clinical syndromes. Abdominal pain syndrome in pediatric practice requires a differential approach among surgical, infectious diseases, as well as malignant tumors. This clinical example shows the difficulties of differential diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma in a patient with a mask of acute appendicitis.
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is an aggressive malignant neoplasm of immunologically mature B lymphocytes with predominantly extranodal localization of the pathological process, more often affecting the gastrointestinal tract.
