An Exceptional Case of Ileocolic Intussusception Secondary to Burkitt’s Lymphoma: What Variations Are There in the Presentation and Management of Those Patients Who Approach Adolescence?

Table 1

Describing variants of BL [2].

Variants of BL
Type	Features
Endemic	Largely prevalent in the African continent, develops due to chromosomal translocation between chromosomes 8 and 14 causing tumours of the facial bones.
Sporadic	Nonendemic and primarily affects the abdominal viscera. It is subsequently described outside of Africa. This variant occurs due to chromosome 8 translocation involving the c-myc oncogene. This form tends to present with the lymphoid tissues of the gut. The disease can present as masses affecting the terminal ileum, caecum, and abdominal mesentery.
Immunodeficient	Frequently presents with diffuse lymphadenopathy. The Epstein-Barr and human immunodeficiency viruses are a recognized association with all forms of BL, not just the immunodeficient forms.
