@ARTICLE{Mahmoodi Nesheli, author = {Mahmoodi Nesheli, Hassan and }, title = {Central Nervous System Burkitt Lymphoma in a child (A case report)}, volume = {1}, number = {2}, abstract ={Introduction: Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is rare, but an aggressive malignancy. Central nervous system Burkitt lymphoma (CNSBL) is very rare. CNS Burkitt’s lymphoma is treated with high-dose chemotherapy and radiation. Radiotherapy in children younger than three years old may cause major CNS damage. Case report: A three-year-old boy presented with painful proptosis of the left eye. He underwent adenoidectomy 2 months before admitted to our center. Sleep difficulty was not resolved after surgery. Microscopic study of paranasal sinus biopsy and IHC confirmed the diagnosis of Burkitt Lymphoma. Conclusions: Inany patients presenting with painful proptosis, BL should be considered. Adenoid hyperplasia should not be considered as a sole cause of sleep difficulty. }, URL = {http://caspianjp.ir/article-1-44-en.html}, eprint = {http://caspianjp.ir/article-1-44-en.pdf}, journal = {Caspian Journal of Pediatrics}, doi = {10.22088/acadpub.BUMS.1.2.77}, year = {2015} }
