Primary gastric Burkitt lymphoma: a rare cause of intraabdominal mass in childhood.
Primary gastric lymphoma in the pediatric population is rare and the role of Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) in its pathogenesis is unclear. In this report, we describe a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (Burkitt's type) coexisting with H. pylori and discuss the potential relationship between H. Pylori and gastric Burkitt lymphoma.
