Abstract EN
Burkitt’s lymphoma is a very aggressive type of B-cell NHL with replication approaching 100%.
Primary gastrointestinal lymphoma is rare.
In our case, a 24-year-old male initially presented with symptomatic anemia.
He was initially evaluated with colonoscopy and EGD, both of which were unremarkable.
A capsule endoscopy was then performed to further evaluate his significant anemia which revealed friable inflamed ulcerated mass in the jejunum.
A push enteroscopy was then performed to obtain tissue from the jejunal mass.
Biopsy results and immunohistochemical stains were consistent with Burkitt’s lymphoma.
PET/CT scan revealed only jejunal involvement.
Treatment consisted of bowel resection prior to chemotherapy due to concern for perforation with chemotherapy.
Patient achieved complete remission after the treatment.
