Fever of unknown origin (FUO) continues to present a clinical conundrum for even expert practitioners. The syndrome of FUO has over 200 possible etiologies. Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma with only 1,200 US adult cases reported annually. Fever, night sweats,
Hyperthermia (42 - 44 degrees C for 30 min to 1 h) can induce apoptosis in a variety of cell types and tumour cell lines. This process is usually, but not invariably unaffected by RNA and protein synthesis inhibition. C-fos expression has been implicated in the regulation of apoptosis occurring

A 14-year-old boy admitted to our clinic with a 20-day history of fever, cough and respiratory distress. Mediastinal enlargement was observed on chest radiograph. Computed tomography of the chest demonstrated a large posterior mediastinal mass. The histopathological examination of the mass revealed
Burkitt leukemia (BL) with the precursor B-cell immunophenotype is a rarely reported condition. The prognosis of such patients is similar to that of classic BL. However, the combination of chromosomal translocations associated with bcl-2 and c-myc rearrangement has a poor Burkitt lymphoma is cytogenetically characterized by t(8;14)(q24;q32) translocation, sometimes accompanied by additional cytogenetic abnormalities. These abnormalities usually result in more aggressive clinical presentation and morphology of the disease. The current report presens a case of Burkitt
An increased risk of lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) has been demonstrated in patients treated with methotrexate (MTX) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been discussed in the pathogenesis of immunodeficiency-associated LPDs. We herein present a RA patient,
Precursor T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL)/lymphoma (T-LBL) is a neoplasm with cytological features that include blast cells of medium size, high nuclear cytoplasmic ratio and inconspicuous nucleoli, which are usually TdT (Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase) positive and variably
A 12-year-old boy admitted to a local hospital with fever, migratory arthralgia, and periosteal reaction on X Ray. He was transferred to our hospital because magnetic resonance imaging scan of his whole body showed multiple abnormal signals in bones. Laboratory findings on admission showed the
Burkitt Lymphoma is the fastest growing tumor in human and the commonest of the childhood malignancies. Generalized lymphadenopathy is a common feature of immunodeficiency associated Burkitt lymphoma but an uncommon presentation of the endemic type in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) We report a case of a 73-year-old-man with systemic hydatidosis and concomitant Burkitt lymphoma. He came at our attention for fever and weight loss suspected for parasitic cyst discharge and also for lymphoproliferative disorder. We performed US, which showed disseminated parasitic cysts. CECT
A 21-year-old woman who presented with pelvic mass, fever and cough was admitted. Ultrasonography revealed a large solid mass and serum CA125 was increased. A bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and pathological diagnosis showed Burkitt lymphoma of bilateral ovaries. Adjuvant chemotherapy
Pseudomembranous colitis (PMC) usually manifests as fever and diarrhea in hospitalized patients treated with systemic antibiotics. We described a case of PMC with intestinal obstruction but without diarrhea. A 60-year-old man was hospitalized for chemotherapy for the treatment of Burkitt lymphoma of
Burkitt lymphoma is an aggressive type of nodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This disease commonly involves the gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, central nervous system, and in rare instances, the skin. We report the case of a 78-year-old Asian man who had experienced subacute fever and significant
