“…[ 6 14 ] Although pre-treatment CD4+ T cell levels and EBV status were not obtained due to the severity of presentation, the patient showed a good response to CHOP and antiretroviral therapy (ART), with shrinkage of the breast and axillary masses. A similar response to chemotherapy and ART was reported by Traoré et al [ 5 ]…”

“…[ 3 ] The endemic form is almost always associated with a latent EBV (Ebstein-Barr Virus) infection and occurs mainly in sub-Saharan Africa; some authors have identified a residence in malaria-endemic regions as a risk factor. [ 4 5 ] Sporadic BL is not associated with EBV and occurs mostly in Caucasian populations. Lastly, immunodeficiency-related BL (IRBL) is seen in immunocompromised patients, the majority of which are HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) positive or transplant recipients on immunosuppressive therapy.…”

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common female cancer worldwide, affecting 13.5–30 per 100,000 women in sub-Saharan Africa. The most common histopathologic variants of breast cancer are those that originate from the glandular epithelium of the breast. Primary breast lymphomas are uncommon, and they represent only 0.04%–0.5% of all breast cancers. Burkitt lymphoma is the least of this rare group. The report intends to present Burkitt’s lymphoma, a rare histopathological diagnosis of primary breast tumour in an HIV+ patient. Description of a case of bilateral breast disease and the histopathologic diagnosis. Our case was a 28-year-old HIV+ woman who presented with multiple bilateral breast lumps for 2 months duration, associated with bilateral axillary lumps, weight loss, night sweat, and malaise. Lumps range from 2 to 8 cm in size with multiple axillary lymph nodes. Core tissue biopsy showed a monotonous population of intermediate-sized lymphoid cells with round nuclei, clumped chromatin, and several nucleoli interspersed by numerous tangible body macrophages, presenting a starry-sky appearance. Diagnosis of bilateral primary breast Burkitt’s lymphoma was performed, and the patient was referred to oncology. She was placed on antiretroviral therapy and chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, vincristine sulphate, and prednisone) and clinically responded to therapy. Conclusions: Breast lumpiness in immunocompromised patients calls for the suspicion of lymphoma.

“…3 In Africa, there is only 4 reported case of PBBL, 1 from Guinea in an HIV infected 30 years old woman, and 3 from Ivory Coast. 10,11 This case will represent the first case of PBBL from Uganda. Compared to other sites of extranodal NHL, it has been revealed that PBL tends to be more aggressive and has a much poor outcome 6 although this is disputed by some authors.…”

Introduction Primary breast Burkitt lymphoma is extremely rare. Commonly endemic Burkitt lymphoma presents with abdominal, jaw, periorbital, or genitourinary mass. Case Presentation We report a case of a 16-year-old girl with rapidly enlarging left breast swelling associated with evening fevers. This was later confirmed to be stage 1 primary breast Burkitt lymphoma involving the left breast. This represents the first described case of primary breast endemic Burkitt lymphoma in Uganda. She was started on chemotherapy and exhibited an impressive response to the drugs. Conclusion This case raises awareness of rare sites for endemic Burkitt lymphoma in Uganda. Accurately diagnosing this case was of great importance since it determined the treatment modality (mastectomy or not) which would have an everlasting impact on her life.
