“…At the time of diagnosis, patients have high tumor burden from bulky disease and have elevated lactate dehydrogenase levels, with high uric acid levels. Cases regarding atypical presentations such as BL mimicking Cronh's disease, origin from the nasal septum, gingival involvement, Kruckenberg tumor by ovarian infiltration with spread to stomach and presentation with peritoneal carcinomatosis has been described in the literature [5][6][7]. ).…”
