We describe an interesting single case of TBL managed by a combined multimodal approach with a review of the literature. Case Report: A patient aged 69-year-old male, newly hypertensive, who presented with a twelve-month history of right testis progressive painful scrotal swelling, which worsens following a motorbike accident. Clinical examination revealed a large tender mass in an erythematous right scrotal bursa. A scrotal ultrasound showed a right heterogenous intra-testicular mass. The patient underwent unilateral (right) radical orchiectomy. Histopathological examination revealed presence of monomorphic lymphoid cells, with moderate to increased size, dissociated inconstantly by macrophages consistent with a Burkitt’s-like non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. After surgery, the patient was transferred to oncologist for adjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusion: A testicular mass is a usual circumstance for the discovery of a primary tumour of the testicle. Burkitt’s testicular lymphoma is a rare tumour whose diagnosis is based on histological findings. There are non-consensual etiological or predisposing factors. The treatment depends imperatively on the stage of the disease. Therapeutic modalities relay on in surgical excision, chemotherapy and radiation therapy but the accurate procedures are not standardized.展开更多
Primary hepatic Burkitt’s lymphoma (PHBL) is rarely seen in adults. Here we reported a case presenting with hepatomegaly and diagnosed as PHBL and also reviewed the literature.

A six years old boy was admitted to our emergency department with complaint of colicky abdominal pain and bilious vomiting for the last month. He was operated due to 3 cm intussusception at ileocecal part. A mass which is about 6 cm in diameter, hard, partly mobile and invaginate the intestine at its posterior aspect was found. Pathology was reported as Burkitt lymphoma. He received two cycles of chemotherapy at post-operative period. He is still event free for the last two years. One must remember that lymphoma can be the lead point in intussusception especially in elderly children.展开更多

文摘背景与目的:散发性Burkitt's淋巴瘤(sporadic Burkitt's lymphoma,sBL)少见,中国sBL的EB病毒(Epstein-Barrvirus,EBV)感染状况尚未见报道。本研究探讨广州地区sBL的临床特点、形态学特征、免疫表型及EBV的感染状况。方法:分析总结21例sBL患者的临床资料,并作一系列免疫组织化学染色确定免疫表型,EBV编码的小RNA(EBV-encoded small RNAs,EBERs)原位杂交检测EBV感染情况。结果:中山大学肿瘤防治中心2000年1月～2007年10月收治的2416例非霍奇金淋巴瘤中,明确诊断21例sBL(0.87%)。男女之比为4.25:1(17/4);中位年龄23岁。21例患者中,19例(90.48%)有淋巴结侵犯;16例(76.19%)多部位受累;12例(57.14%)临床分期为Ⅲ/Ⅳ期;15例化疗或手术加化疗患者的2年生存率为56.00%。20例形态学上表现为经典BL,另1例为伴有浆细胞样分化的BL变异型。该21例sBL主要的免疫表型为sIgM+/CD20+/CD10+/Bcl-6+/Bcl-2-[或Bcl-6+(>95%)/Bcl-2+(<10%)]/TdT-/Ki-67+100%。20例可检测病例中,11例有少数肿瘤细胞(3%～20%)表达CD5。10例肿瘤(47.62%)呈P53蛋白过表达。6例(28.57%)肿瘤细胞感染EBV,表达EBNA1和EBERs,但不表达LMP1。EBV阳性及阴性病例在形态学和免疫表型上均无显著差异。结论:广州地区sBL少见,主要见于儿童及年轻成年男性。多数病例有淋巴结的侵犯。形态学及免疫表型与地方性BL类同。28.57%病例呈EBVI型潜伏感染。
