QUINTERO-SIERRA, Yamilé  and  HERNANDEZ-PADRON, Carlos. No hodgkin lymphoma burkitt-like. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2016, vol.32, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2996.

The Burkitt-like lymphoma is considered a highly aggressive B-cell lymphoma, with a high proliferative rate. Presentation with extensive mass intestinal involvement is rare and poorly documented in the literature. We report the case of a young adult with the Burkitt-like lymphoma, and presenting extensive infiltration of the right colon, who receives chemotherapy treatment associated with administration of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, achieves complete remission of the illness and consolidation with intensive chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation. Currently the patient is asymptomatic and without treatment.

Keywords : Burkitt-like lymphoma; chemotherapy; anti CD20 monoclonal antibody; autologous stem cell transplantation.
