Burkitt’s lymphoma can show in a variety of ways, and it’s frequently identified in children owing to the development of an abdominal tumor. This aggressive, fast growing tumor can induce either indirect symptoms due to pressure phenomena or direct involvement of the intestine lumen, resulting in intestinal obstruction or intussusception. We are reporting a case of intestinal intussusception in a patient with Burkitt’s lymphoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
