GUTIERREZ-RODRIGUEZ, Eulalio Alberto; ARZOLA-MEDRANO, Manuel Ernesto y GARCIA-LABASTIDA, Laura Elvira. Nasopharyngeal Burkitt lymphoma. Rev. mex. pediatr. [online]. 2020, vol.87, n.5, pp.195-200. Epub 27-Jun-2022. ISSN 0035-0052. https://doi.org/10.35366/97174.
Introduction:
Burkitt’s lymphoma is a neoplasm caused by the clonal proliferation of B cells. This article aims to present a case of Burkitt’s lymphoma located in the nasopharynx, which is a very rare presentation.
Clinical case:
Eight-year-old female patient with a condition characterized by snoring and changes in speech suggestive of chronic sinusitis. As part of the study, a mass with a benign appearance was observed in the nasopharynx, by tomography. By nasofibrolaryngoscopy, biopsy is suggested. The biopsy report was of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, with a diffuse pattern, and Burkitt’s lymphoma was determined by immunohistochemistry. The patient was successfully treated with chemotherapy.
Conclusion:
Burkitt lymphoma with nasopharyngeal location can present nonspecific symptoms or simulate other conditions, for which it is part of the differential diagnosis the paranasal sinuses, nose or swallowing diseases.
