Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is a high-grade lymphoma which represents 8-10% of all tumors in individuals younger than 15 years old. It may occur as an abdominal tumor, which in rare cases may include gastric mucosa, although in most cases, the tumor is located in the ileum or cecum. Primary gastric lymphoma constitutes as low as 1.48% of all gastric cancers in children. In this study, we described a case of gastric BL in a 4-year-old child, presenting discontinuous abdominal pain, weight loss, constipation and irritability. Despite its rarity in children, this tumor should be treated aggressively and long-term survival has been reported.
伯基特淋巴瘤(BL)是一种高度侵袭性淋巴瘤,占15岁以下个体所有肿瘤的8%-10%。它可能表现为腹部肿瘤,在极少数情况下可能累及胃黏膜,不过在大多数情况下,肿瘤位于回肠或盲肠。原发性胃淋巴瘤在儿童所有胃癌中所占比例低至1.48%。在本研究中,我们描述了一名4岁儿童的胃BL病例,该患儿表现为间断性腹痛、体重减轻、便秘和易激惹。尽管这种肿瘤在儿童中罕见,但应积极治疗,且已有长期生存的报道。
