Abstract
The primary gastrointestinal Burkitt’s lymphoma is a rare entity. which is endemic in Africa, sporadic cases are reported in the rest of the world. Only around 50 cases have been reported till now. Here we present a 37/male from Oman with progressive dysphagia and weight loss for 2 months duration. On evaluation, he was found to have a large mass in the gastroesophageal junction and proximal stomach and body with marrow involvement in the right trochanter. OGD confirmed the growth and the biopsy did reveal NHL-Burkitt lymphoma. He received CODOX-M/IVAC + Rituximab. And his symptoms resolved in 2 days. Gastric Burkitt’s lymphoma is an aggressive tumor with high proliferation. Chemotherapy, rituximab and prophylactic CNS treatment should be included as part of the treatment regimens. Early diagnosis with aggressive and early treatment can give very good long-term survival rates for the patients.
