A teenage white male was recently evaluated for a rapidly enlarging mass in the right groin. Biopsy of the mass disclosed Burkitt's lymphoma. Aggressive therapy was instituted, including extirpative surgery, followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Using these combined modalities, it was possible to eliminate the lymphoma. Unfortunately, severe pancytopenia and immunosuppression developed and the patient died of gram-negative sepsis. This disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any rapidly enlarging solid tumor in a young patient.
一名十几岁的白人男性最近因右侧腹股沟处迅速增大的肿块接受评估。肿块活检显示为伯基特淋巴瘤。随即采取了积极的治疗措施，包括切除手术，随后进行化疗和放疗。通过这些综合治疗手段，得以消除淋巴瘤。不幸的是，患者出现了严重的全血细胞减少和免疫抑制，并死于革兰氏阴性菌败血症。对于年轻患者中任何迅速增大的实体瘤进行鉴别诊断时，都应考虑到这种疾病。
