“…Their study showed that the ratio of male patients is higher than female. Chlidren cases have been reported by Angotti R, Kim SC et.al (13,14). A retrospective analysis showed that gastric BL often involves body and antrum of stomach (15).…”

“…These two types usually affect extranodal sites (such as bone marrow and GI-tract) and CNS (especially the pia mater) (20,21). According to previous case reports, most patients with gastric BL have mild symptoms even though lesions of the stomach are serious (11,13,14). But the disease can progress very quickly and some serious symptoms appear, such as gastrointestinal bleeding and di culty swallowing.…”

“…Gastrointestinal endoscopy can intuitively show mass in GI-trcat and it can assess tumor in ltration well. Under endoscopy, gastric Burkitt's lymphoma is common in ulcerative lesions (2,9,11,13,14). And the ulcer surface is often covered with a large amount of mucus.…”

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.

“…Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is the third most common cancer (10%), accounting for ~60% of all lymphomas in children and adolescents (1). The most common symptoms of pediatric NHL are fever, superficial lymph node enlargement, cough, shortness of breath, anorexia, abdominal pain, sore throat and nasal obstruction.…”

Abstract. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect and safety of autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (APBSCT) in children and adolescents with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Ten patients with NHL were analyzed retrospectively. In all the patients, lymph node enlargement was most frequently detected. Patients with a mediastinal mass presented with a cough, palpitation and shortness of breath. Extranodal patients presented with abdominal pain, inability to walk and vaginal bleeding. All patients underwent APBSCT with conditioning regimens BEAM or BuCy. Among them, four patients with B-cell NHL received rituximab in addition to the conditioning regimen. Hematopoietic reconstitution was observed in all patients. Severe toxicity and transplant-related mortality were not observed. Prior to APBSCT, nine patients with a status of complete response (CR) and CR unconfirmed achieved continuing complete remission. Only one patient with partial response succumbed to progressive disease. APBSCT in children and adolescents with NHL is a safe, convenient and efficient treatment. The BEAM conditioning regimen was shown to be effective and tolerable for children and adolescents with NHL. Rituximab is a safe agent in the transplantation. The CR status at the time of transplantation demonstrated a higher survival rate.
