Further, intussusception secondary to Burkitt's lymphoma is an uncommon presentation. We describe an unusual case of intestinal Burkitt's lymphoma in a 4-year-old boy who presented to the emergency department with intermittent colicky pain. Imaging studies were suggestive of intussusception which was reduced on exploratory laparotomy. Gross examination of the resected bowel revealed a gray-white to pink fleshy tumor encompassing 90% of the ileocecal valve circumference. Histopathology supplemented with immunohistochemistry was suggestive of Burkitt's lymphoma. Owing to rather nonspecific clinicoradiological features, its preoperative diagnosis remains a challenging task for the pediatric surgeons as well as radiologists. ER -
