title: Disseminated Renal Burkitt Lymphoma With Malignant Inferior Vena Caval Thrombosis in a Child.
abstract: The most common causes of renal mass with malignant venous thrombosis are Wilms' tumor and renal cell carcinoma. Although renal involvement may occur in disseminated lymphomas, primary renal Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is rare. Vascular tropism is not a usual feature of lymphoma; thus, primary renal BL with venous extension is distinctly unusual. However, it is important to diagnose this entity because such patients respond well to medical management and may not require surgery. We report a pediatric case of primary renal BL with malignant vascular thrombus and systemic dissemination where biopsy was diagnostic and enabled appropriate treatment.
