BURKITT S LYMPHOMA OF THE BREAST AND OVARY, CASE REPORT
Abstract
A 17 year old Sudanese female with breast lump and ovarian mass proved to be Burkitt s lymphoma of the breast and ovary. She received 8 cycles of CHOP chemotherapy and Intrathecal methotrexate and achieved complete response. Three years after treatment she is well without recurrence. A lymphoma should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of a breast tumor, especially in very young patients. It needs a different work-up and treatment.
