title: An unusual cause of acute obstructive jaundice in an HIV-infected patient.
abstract: We describe the case of an HIV-1-infected patient presenting with acute obstructive jaundice as the initial manifestation of primary small bowel Burkitt's lymphoma. The biliary obstruction resolved rapidly following chemotherapy without the need for surgical intervention. The prognosis is favourable with appropriate timely treatment.
