Clinial image description
The diagnosis of endemic Burkitt lymphoma was made in this 16 year old Sudanese boy by kidney biopsy histopathology (Figure 1) and touch imprint (Figure 2) as the bone and bone marrow biopsies were unremarkable. He was given 7 cycles of R-COPADM1 chemotherapy according to LMB-89 protocol, and he became disease free by PET scan. Subsequently, he presented 3 months later with severe lower back ache and a cauda equina lesion. Figure 3 shows L4-L5 disc prolapse and secondary deposits (red arrow) in the spinal canal. Surgical excision of the disc and the spinal canal lesion done.
