PAGOLA, María Belén et al. Sporadic Burkitt´s lymphoma in the oral cavity. A clinical case report. Rev. Asoc. Odontol. Argent. [online]. 2021, vol.109, n.2, pp.100-106. Epub 20-Ago-2021. ISSN 2683-7226. http://dx.doi.org/10.52979/raoa.1134.
Aim:
To present a case of sporadic Burkitt’s lymphoma with oral initial manifestatios in a young adult patient, who received treatment at the Hospital Interzonal General de Agudos “General José de San Martín”, La Plata.
Clinical case:
A 20-year-old male patient presents with a tumor lesion located in the posterior area of the mandibular ridge, spontaneous loss of teeth and paresthesia of the inferior dental nerve, increase in testicular volume, intestinal compromise and polyadenopathy. The morphological and immunostaining conditions confirm an “aggressive” B-Cell Lymphoma. The patient received an intensive scheme of 6 blocks of chemotherapy and intrathecal therapy. No signs of recurrence were observed during the 12-month follow-up period. Oral manifestations of Burkitt´s lymphoma in the initial stages should be considered in the differential diagnosis of benign oral diseases. Due to its aggressive nature, early and rapid recognition of these this lymphoma is essential for the timely administration of adequate therapy and for a patient’s better prognosis.
