Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a high-grade, B-cell-originated pediatric malignancy that is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma involving different organs. Mediastinal mass, ascites, peritoneal thickening, and infiltration of the small intestine, kidney, and liver were found in our patient. In this case, we describe the radiologic appearances and possible infiltration patterns of multi-organ BL. Also, we discuss infiltration of the periportal area, such as hypodense lesions in the liver, which is rarely seen in BL.
伯基特淋巴瘤(BL)是一种起源于B细胞的高度侵袭性儿科恶性肿瘤,属于非霍奇金淋巴瘤的一种,可累及不同器官。我们的患者出现了纵隔肿块、腹水、腹膜增厚以及小肠、肾脏和肝脏浸润。在此病例中,我们描述了多器官BL的放射学表现及可能的浸润模式。此外,我们还讨论了门周区域的浸润情况,如肝脏中的低密度病变,这在BL中很少见。
