Abstract
|
|
|
|
Childhood Burkitt lymphoma is most often diagnosed in the abdomen, with the majority of intra-abdominal cases arising from the small or large intestines. Involvement of the gastric mucosa is rare. Here, we present a six-year-old boy who was found to have gastric Burkitt lymphoma through biopsy obtained by esophagogastroduodenoscopy. The child was treated with six cycles of chemotherapy without surgery, and he remains free of disease fourteen months since initial diagnosis. Early definitive diagnosis through endoscopic biopsy and appropriate treatment are necessary for rare instances where chil-dren present with upper gastrointestinal tract tumors.
