Abstract
Background: Burkitt's lymphoma (BL)belongs to the group of lymphomas with an aggressive clinical course. It is a rare form of lymphoma in adults with an incidence of 1200 patients per year in the USA.
Objective: The aim of this article was to present for the first time the case of a patient in whom Burkitt's lymphoma was proven by biopsy and curettage of the uterus, and at the same time in the biopsy of palatine tonsil and bone.
Case report: A 64-year-old female patient who comes because of difficulty in swallowing, enlarged neck lymph nodes and vaginal bleeding. Under diagnosis Lymphoma non Hodgkin Burkitt CS IV B, ECOG 3, IPI 5 (high risk), R-IPI:5 (poor prognostic index) introduction of IHT R-CHOP 4 cycles with therapeutic response.
Conclusion: A multidisciplinary approach is needed in the case of suspicion and diagnosis of BL, which is most often in an advanced form.
