Adult Burkitt’s lymphoma emerged as an AIDS-defining condition in the 1980s. We describe a case of HIV-associated adult Burkitt’s lymphoma diagnosed and treated with high-dose chemotherapy in our institution, complicated by unusual bilateral renal vein tumour thrombi and tumour lysis syndrome. We believe this unique case highlights the need for early recognition of current and potential complications on staging computed tomography imaging, as well as successful use of a high-dose chemotherapy regimen.

“…Burkitt's lymphoma is an uncommon form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in adults and represents less than 5% of lymphoma cases [2]. Burkitt's Lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive, rapidly growing B cell non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, which manifests in several subtypes including: Epstein-Barr virus endemic, sporadic, and immunodeficiency-associated types [2]. These clinical variants are recognised with different epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical presentations.…”

Background: Burkitt's lymphoma of the testis (TBL) is a rare and extremely aggressive malignant usually diagnosed in front of a testicular mass. We describe an interesting single case of TBL managed by a combined multimodal approach with a review of the literature. Case Report: A patient aged 69-year-old male, newly hypertensive, who presented with a twelve-month history of right testis progressive painful scrotal swelling, which worsens following a motorbike accident. Clinical examination revealed a large tender mass in an erythematous right scrotal bursa. A scrotal ultrasound showed a right heterogenous intra-testicular mass. The patient underwent unilateral (right) radical orchiectomy. Histopathological examination revealed presence of monomorphic lymphoid cells, with moderate to increased size, dissociated inconstantly by macrophages consistent with a Burkitt's-like non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. After surgery, the patient was transferred to oncologist for adjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusion: A testicular mass is a usual circumstance for the discovery of a primary tumour of the testicle. Burkitt's testicular lymphoma is a rare tumour whose diagnosis is based on histological findings. There are non-consensual etiological or predisposing factors. The treatment depends imperatively on the stage of the disease. Therapeutic modalities relay on in surgical excision, chemotherapy and radiation therapy but the accurate procedures are not standardized.

Le lymphome de Burkitt (LB) est une forme de lymphome malin non-Hodgkinien qui provient de l'évolution maligne et de la prolifération de cellules lymphoïdes de type B. Le diagnostic positif repose sur la biopsie d'une masse tumorale ou la ponction de la moelle osseuse révélant la présence de cellules tumorales. Le cas rapporté est celui d'un jeune homme d'une vingtaine d'années qui a été adressé pour des tuméfactions gingivales évoluant depuis 1 mois suite à des extractions dentaires. L'examen anatomopathologique après biopsie complété par l'immunohistochimie conclut à un lymphome de Burkitt. La prise en charge a consisté en une chimiothérapie. Bien que rare, le lymphome de Burkitt est une tumeur agressive qui représente un véritable problème de santé publique d'où la place importante qu'occupe le médecin dentiste dans le diagnostic précoce afin de permettre une prise en charge rapide et appropriée seule garante de la guérison.
