A 14-year-old boy admitted to our clinic with a 20-day history of fever, cough and respiratory distress. Mediastinal enlargement was observed on chest radiograph. Computed tomography of the chest demonstrated a large posterior mediastinal mass. The histopathological examination of the mass revealed Burkitt's lymphoma. We report this case because primary posterior mediastinal involvement in Burkitt lymphoma is extremely rare in childhood.
一名14岁男孩因发热、咳嗽和呼吸窘迫20天入住我院。胸部X线片显示纵隔增宽。胸部计算机断层扫描显示后纵隔有一个巨大肿块。肿块的组织病理学检查显示为伯基特淋巴瘤。我们报告该病例，因为儿童期原发性后纵隔伯基特淋巴瘤极为罕见。
