TOVIO MARTINEZ, Irene Patricia; TOVIO MARTINEZ, Eilien Gisek  y  URBANO DEL VALLE, Samuel Enrique. Hepatoesplenomegalia related to Burkitt´s lymphoma in a pediatric patient. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2020, vol.42, n.5, pp.2378-2387.  Epub 30-Oct-2020. ISSN 1684-1824.

Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with high frequency in those patients with AIDS. Hepatosplenomegaly is a clinical sign of great importance for the timely diagnosis of some pathologies; cellular infiltration is found among the mechanisms of hepatosplenomegaly formation; it is caused by the migration of tumor cells. It emerges by inflammations due to the presence of infections by virus or bacteria which are very common in patients with AIDS. The authors present the case of a male patient, aged 4 years, with a positive HIV diagnosis, and the correspondent configuration of clinical criteria in C classification for AIDS, who developed a primary Burkitt lymphoma at the level of oral cavity

We present the case of a 4-year-old male patient diagnosed with HIV positive, with the corresponding configuration of clinical criteria in classification C for AIDS; who developed a primary LB at the oral cavity level that was accompanied by hepatosplenomegaly. The authors pretended to describe the relation and behavior of this kind of lymphoma with hepatosplenomegaly, and also the repercussion at the stomatognathic level, at the systemic level and the treatment plan. Due to the clinical and immunological characteristics of the studied patient a reserved prognosis was given because of presenting infrequent clinical characteristics in which a Burkitt was observed both, at the stomatognathic and at the abdominal level. It was necessary to make an opportune and accurate diagnosis to begin the treatment on time.

Palabras clave : hepatomegaly; HIV antigens; Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, mouth.
