Abstract

We report a case of ileocecal intussusception due to Burkitt's lymphoma(BL). A 14-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital for abdominal pain and diarrhea. He was diagnosed an intussusception by the ultrasonography and the CT scan. Laparoscopic ileocecal resection was performed. A diagnosis of BL was made on basis of pathological examination. He was transferred for the chemotherapy on postoperative day 8. We conclude that, if the intussusception associated with malignant lymphoma is assumed from the preoperative findings, we have to keep minimal surgical invasion and start postoperative chemotherapy immediately.
