Base Of The Tongue

Burkitt's lymphoma is a highly aggressive, mature B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that is rare outside Africa. We report a case of Burkitt's lymphoma presenting as a rapidly expanding tongue-base mass that caused airway obstruction in an 80-year-old Palestinian man living in California. According to our review of the literature, this is only the third reported case of Burkitt's lymphoma arising in the base of the tongue. We also discuss the incidence, epidemiology, genetics, prognosis, and treatment of this malignancy. Because Burkitt's lymphoma is one of the fastest-growing tumors in humans, rapid diagnosis and treatment are important. Treatment involves brief-duration, high-intensity chemotherapy and central nervous system prophylaxis. It is important for the otolaryngologist to recognize this disease and to understand the steps necessary to treat this aggressive tumor.

Gastrointestinal Lymphomas

Lymphomas are solid tumors that arise from lymphoid tissue and present themselves as Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Particularly gastrointestinal lymphomas can be clinically confused with other gastrointestinal tumors as well as with diffuse and inflammatory bowel disease. Early diagnosis and treatment bear vital importance in the management of lymphomas due to their high proliferation rates. In this report, we are presenting a case which initially displayed clinical and radiological signs of Crohn's disease, but was eventually diagnosed as Burkitt's lymphoma by laparotomy, and also we aim to underscore the importance of differential diagnosis.
