Abstract
Introduction: Burkitt's lymphoma is a highly aggressive nonHodgkin lymphoma and occurs predominantly in the first decades of life in males. Often the clinical presentation is an abdominal mass associated with abdominal pain, nausea, intestinal obstruction or intussusceptions. The association between Burkitt's lymphoma and histological proven acute appendicitis is rare, and usually is secondary to intussusceptions. Case Report: We present a case of a 14yearold boy with an ileocecal Burkitt's lymphoma presented as acute appendicitis. Conclusion: This report emphasis the importance of the histopathologycal exam of the appendix in all patients with acute appendicitis suspicious, even those with typical clinical presentation.
