“…Cases have been described in all age groups presenting with obstructive jaundice, pancreatitis or gastric symptoms, as in the present case. [5][6][7] Most patients with Burkitt lymphoma present with large abdominal mass, frequently involving the ileocecal region of the bowel. The frequency of Burkitt lymphoma among primary pancreatic lymphoma is not known; it is very rare, and pancreatic involvement may be a sign of preterminal disease.…”

Pancreatitis due to malignant infiltration is an uncommon condition in childhood. Pancreatic lymphomas constitute <2% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Only six reported cases with various clinical presentation have been documented in the literature. Described herein is the case of a nine-year-old boy with abdominal pain, jaundice, emesis, weight loss, diarrhea, who developed hyperlipidemia and cholestasis. Pancreatitis was suspected due to high amylase and lipase. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed diffuse enlargement of the pancreas. This sausage pancreas imaging was suggestive of autoimmune pancreatitis, but the patient was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma on bone marrow aspiration, and rapidly improved with chemotherapy. Burkitt lymphoma should be kept in mind when patients present with pancreatitis, especially with diffuse enlarged pancreas.

Introduction: Burkitt lymphoma represents about 50% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas and 3% of cancers in children. It commonly affects the abdomen; however, pancreatitis is a very rare initial presentation. Less than 10 cases with this presentation are reported in the literature. Observation: We report the case of a six-year-old girl who presented a rapidly progressing obstructive jaundice evolving for a week. The LDH rate was not increased. Medical imaging has shown a global increase in the size of the pancreas, homogeneous hepatomegaly with dilatation of the gallbladder and the intra-hepatic bile ducts, and infiltration of the left ovary, without ascites. The patient was diagnosed with pancreatic Burkitt Lymphoma after an endoscopic exploration and tumor biopsy. Conclusion: While extremely rare, Burkitt lymphoma should be evoked in the case of pancreatitis with a global increase of the pancreas size, associated with other intra-abdominal organ infiltration in the pediatric population.
