Nadir Bir İnvajinasyon Nedeni; Burkitt Lenfoma

İnvajinasyon, çocuklarda karın ağrısının sık nedenlerinden biri olmasına karşın erişkinde nispeten nadir bir nedendir. Burkitt lenfoma ise bunun oldukça nadir bir nedenidir. İnce barsaklar tüm gastrointestinal kanalın %75’ni oluşturmasına rağmen ince barsak tümörleri tüm kanal tümörlerinin %2’sinden azını oluşturmaktadır. Lenfomalar, bilhassa Burkitt lenfoma ise daha da nadir gözlenen bir klinik tanıdır. Burada genç yaşta ileus ve assit teşekkülü ile kliniğe başvuran Burkitt lenfoma tanısı alan bir vakayı sunmayı amaçladık.

A Rare Cause of Invagination; Burkitt Lymphoma

However, invagination is a common cause of abdominal pain in children, it is a rare condition in adults. Moreover, Burkitt lymphoma is extremly rare cause of invagination. The small intestine is  comprising 75% of the length of the gastrointestnal tract and 90% of its  mucosal  surface  area,  but  less  than  2%  of  malignant  gastrointestinal tumors  are  derived  from  this  organ. Lymphomas, particularly Burkitt Lymphoma are rare seen clinical diagnoses.  We aimed to present a case of Burkitt's lymphoma diagnosed at the young age with ileus and ascites.
