Successful treatment of bilateral adrenal Burkitt’s lymphoma in a child at Vietnam National Children’s Hospital: A case report

Bilateral adrenal Burkitt's lymphoma is sporadic, especially in children.Its prognosis is generally poor in adults, and there is limited data on the pediatric population.We report on the case of a 7-year-old boy who presented with abdominal pain and weight loss.Imaging revealed many lymph nodes around the abdominal aorta, bilateral masses in the adrenal gland, and invading adjacent organs.LDH and acid uric in plasma are moderately elevated.We performed an ultrasound-guided needle core biopsy on his right adrenal gland.Histopathology and immunohistochemistry revealed Burkitt's lymphoma.His staging assessment was stage III.He had been successfully treated with the LMB96 protocol group B, including chemotherapy, residual bilateral adrenal tumor resection, and hormonal replacement.This successful treatment may contribute to current literature about the standard management.
