“…9 Approximately 58% of BL cases in the head and neck are located in maxilla/mandible. 10 The mandibular involvement site is linked to the clinical features of this aggressive neoplasm, which include proptosis, facial swelling, loosening of teeth, and jaw swelling.¹⁰ Though very few cases have been documented in the nasal cavity and nasopharynx, it is less common in the nose and nasopharynx. Owing to rarity of BL in the nasopharynx, in present case report, authors emphasize misdiagnosis of adenoid hypertrophy for BL.…”

This case report presents the diagnostic challenges encountered in identifying nasopharyngeal Burkitt lymphoma (BL) in an 18- year-old male initially misdiagnosed with adenoid hypertrophy. BL, a rare and aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), typically manifests in cervical lymphnodes or facial bones, making nasopharyngeal involvement unusual. The patient's symptoms progressed from nasal blockage to oropharyngeal dysphagia and neck swelling, prompting further investigation. Radiological assessments, including a CT scan, were inconclusive, leading to a diagnosis through excisional biopsy and immunohistochemistry, confirming BL with CD20, CD10, and Bcl-6 expression. Successful treatment involved six cycles of chemotherapy, resulting in complete remission. This case underscores the importance of considering rare malignancies in atypical presentations and highlights the role of comprehensive diagnostic approaches in achieving accurate and timely management.

Sporadic Burkitt’s lymphoma/acute B-cell leukaemia presenting with progressive proptosis and orbital mass in a child

Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is an aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is found predominantly in children, with the highest incidence occurring in Africa. The sporadic form occurs in non-endemic areas and typically involves the ileo-caecum and the bowel, whereas orbital and paranasal sinus involvement is rare. Here, we present an unusual case of sporadic BL in a Caucasian male child with rapidly progressive painful proptosis of the right eye. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an oval-shaped, extraconal mass in the supero-lateral part of the right orbit that deformed and dislocated the eyeball antero-inferiorly. The patient underwent anterior orbitotomy, and a biopsy of the excised tissue revealed a starry-sky appearance characteristic of BL. Postoperative aggressive chemotherapy was initiated with a good response after one week.
