Unusual Presentation of a Pediatric Burkitt’s Lymphoma With Infiltration of the Interatrial Septum
This case underscores the importance of a comprehensive cardiac evaluation in pediatric patients with Burkitt's lymphoma, particularly when presenting with atypical manifestations such as interatrial septum involvement. The findings demonstrate that systemic chemotherapy can effectively treat cardiac infiltration, even in complex cases with extensive disease. This report highlights the need for awareness of rare cardiac presentations in pediatric lymphoma and the critical role of advanced imaging modalities in diagnosis and management. Continuous monitoring and early implementation of cardioprotective strategies are essential to optimize outcomes in such cases.
