[Isolated tumor of the rectum as primary manifestation of Burkitt lymphoma (author's transl)].
Burkitt tumors are malignant lymphoblastic lymphomas occurring predominantly in Africa in children and young adults and involving in many cases the intestinal tract; these tumors occur rather seldom outside Africa. A case report is given of a white 21 old female suffering from this disease; that first manifestation was an isolated ulcerating tumor of the rectum without involvement of other organs of lymph nodes. Diagnosis was confirmed by rectum biopsy. X-ray therapy, cytostatic therapy and amputation of the rectum did not prevent a fast progression of the disease and final death, which is the usual course of the disease when it occurs outside Africa.
