Spinal Burkitt's Lymphoma in Adults

Compression médullaire révélatrice d’un lymphome de Burkitt chez un adulte

“…Chez l'adulte, il est souvent associé au SIDA. Les localisations rachidiennes sont peu rapportées dans la littérature [1,2]. Les cas révélés par une compression médullaire ont surtout été rapportés chez l'enfant [3][4][5].…”

“…Cette infection émergente dans les pays industrialisés a été également rapportée en Europe. Il s'agit de cas d'importation et de cas autochtones sporadiques survenus chez des personnes n'ayant jamais séjourné en zone d'endémie [2][3][4]. Dans les régions endémiques, le VHE est principalement véhiculé par l'eau et la contamination interhumaine est très rare.…”

Imaging Intra-abdominal Burkitt's Lymphoma: From Discrete Bowel Wall Thickening to Diffuse Soft Tissue Infiltration

“…Extradural extension of retroperitoneal disease is well recognized in BL [3]. The most common presenting symptom is back pain, which can precede the onset of myelopathy by several days to several months [26]. Extradural disease may be the result of an isolated deposit within the spinal canal or extension from an adjacent nodal mass or primary bone involvement ( Figure 15) [26].…”

The Study of Cellular Factors of Immunity in Patients With Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas

“…Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) -a heterogeneous group of tumors of the blood system, characterized by various clinical course, localization, morphological, immunological; cytogenetic features, and results of therapy [12,16]. In recent years, the incidence of NHL has increased [6,10,13,15]. Men get sick about 3 times more often than women [1,2,4,7,9,9,14].…”

“…In childhood, lymphoblastic lymphomas from progenitor cells (LBL) are most often diagnosed, and from mature cell NHL, Burkitt's lymphoma (BL), LCL characteristics of the tumor, in particular, the group. Only an integrated approach that takes into account the peculiarities of the morphological picture and uses an expanded diagnostic immunological panel of antibodies, which is aimed at identifying not only the markers of mature T and B cells, but also the antigens of progenitor cells, makes it possible to correctly diagnose [4,5,7,10]. The main treatments for NHLremain polychemotherapy and radiation therapy.…”
