Primary spinal epidural Burkitt lymphoma, presenting with signs of spinal cord compression, is very uncommon in childhood. Previously reported pediatric cases with isolated epidural Burkitt lymphoma had a high mortality, and survivors usually suffered serious neurologic sequelae. The authors present a 13-year-old female with isolated epidural Burkitt lymphoma with favorable outcome, and review the pediatric literature.
原发性脊髓硬膜外伯基特淋巴瘤在儿童时期极为罕见,常表现为脊髓受压症状。此前报道的小儿孤立性硬膜外伯基特淋巴瘤病例死亡率很高,幸存者通常伴有严重的神经后遗症。本文作者报告了一例13岁患孤立性硬膜外伯基特淋巴瘤且预后良好的女性病例,并对儿科文献进行了综述。
