Objective. To present the case of an aggressive orbital Burkitt’s lymphoma.Methods. Chart review.Case Presentation. A 24-year-old Haitian man came to our clinic complaining of rapidly progressive right eye proptosis. On examination, a large friable exophytic mass with necrotic areas and exudative/hemorrhagic secretions was noted protruding from his right orbit. A biopsy revealed the characteristic “starry-sky” appearance of a Burkitt lymphoma. The patient died shortly after due to complications from systemic involvement.Discussion. This case is meant to raise physicians’ awareness on the healthcare situation in some underdeveloped countries, emphasizing the importance of education in preventive medicine.

Burkitt lymphoma, as the most common non-Hodgkin Bcell lymphoma of childhood, is rarely detected in the gastrointestinal tract. Intussusception secondary to Burkitt’s lymphoma is an uncommon presentation. We describe an unusual case of intestinal Burkitt’s lymphoma in a four and the half-year-old girl who presented with intermittent colicky pain three times. Imaging studies were suggestive of intussusception. The patient was subjected to the surgery of bowel resection, which revealed a creamy-gray oval-shaped mass. Histopathology through immunohistochemistry study confirmed the Burkitt lymphoma. Owing to rather nonspecific clinical and radiological features, the preoperative diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma remains a challenging task for pediatric surgeons and radiologists. Therefore, in case of any clinical suspicion, further examinations, such as CT scan in children are recommended.

The most frequent primary lymphomas of the bladder are the low-grade B-cell- derived non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas of the MALT type, including Burkitt’s lymphoma. Primary genitourinary localization of lymphomas is uncommon and, in particular supra vesical development of Burkitt lymphoma. The continuous progress of treatment by chemotherapy has changed the pejorative prognosis of this disease into a good one.

Underlying Pathogenesis

Achalasia is an intrinsic disorder of the esophagus that results from loss of ganglion cells in the lower esophageal sphincter. Clinically it is manifested by dysphagia to solids and liquids, weight loss, regurgitation, and chest pain. Pseudoachalasia, in contrast, is a rare entity that causes identical symptoms, but has a divergent underlying pathogenesis. The symptomology in these cases oftentimes occurs secondary to extrinsic compression of the esophagus, mostly attributable to malignancy. Although many cases of extrinsic esophageal compression have been reported in the literature, rarely has this occurred secondary to Burkitt’s lymphoma in an adult. Here, we present a case of Burkitt’s lymphoma resulting in pseudoachalasia in a 70-year-old female. The concurrence of these two entities in one patient makes this case presentation especially rare.
