Burkitt’s lymphoma is an aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It is less common in adults accounting for less than 5% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases. Radiological methods (ultrasonography, computed tomography) are indispensable for the initial evaluation and appreciation of organ extension; complete diagnosis is confirmed by the histopathological examination.We present the clinical case and ultrasound imaging particularities of a young patient diagnosed with multisystem involvement Burkitt’s lymphoma, with rapid progressive evolution towards exitus.

Introduction. The presence of bilateral exophthalmos and palpebral, periorbital edema associated with hyperthyroidism is most often considered as an initial sign of Graves? ophthalmopathy. However, in up to 20% of cases, Graves? ophthalmopathy might precede the occurrence of hyperthyroidism, which is very important to be considered in the differential diagnosis, especially if it is stated as unilateral. Among other less common causes of non-thyroid-related orbitopathy, orbital lymphoma represents rare conditions. We presented of a patient with Graves? disease, initially manifested as bilateral orbitopathy and progressive unilateral exophthalmos caused by the marginal zone B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the orbit. Case report. A 64-yearold man with the 3-year history of bilateral Graves? orbitopathy and hyperthyroidism underwent the left orbital decompression surgery due to the predominantly left, unilateral worsening of exophthalmos resistant to the previously applied glucocorticoid therapy. A year after the surgical treatment, a substantial exophthalmos of the left eye was again observed, signifying that other non-thyroid pathology could be involved. Orbital ultrasound was suggestive of primary orbital lymphoma, what was confirmed by orbital CT scan and the biopsy of the tumor tissue. Detailed examinations indicated that the marginal zone B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma extended to IV - B-b CS, IPI 3 (bone marrow infiltration: m+ orbit+). Upon the completion of the polychemiotherapy and the radiation treatment, a complete remission of the disease was achieved. Conclusion. Even when elements clearly indicate the presence of thyroid-related ophthalmopathy, disease deteriorating should raise a suspicion and always lead to imaging procedures to exclude malignancy.

BACKGROUND: Breast lymphomas are rare extranodal lymphomas. They constitute a tiny percentage of malignant tumors of the breast and a small subset of extranodal lymphomas. The rarity of breast lymphomas is attributed to the very scanty lymphoid tissue content of the chest wall. AIMS OF STUDY: This case report aims to provide an up-to-date review of the literature on breast lymphomas and clinicians to consider the possibility of this disease entity while treating a breast mass. CASE PRESENTATION: A case is reported of primary mammary non-Hodgkin lymphoma in a 52-year-old man. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was inconclusive. Incisional biopsy-confirmed primary breast lymphoma was diagnosed as the diffuse large B-cell type: non – Hodgkin lymphoma. He had complete disease remission in response to chemotherapy – Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisolone (CHOP). After that, the patient did not require further surgical intervention. He was followed up at two-monthly intervals for eighteen months in the surgical outpatient clinic with no disease recurrence and satisfactory clinical outcome, following which he discontinued follow-up visits. CONCLUSION: While assessing breast masses, clinicians must recognize primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma as a potential differential diagnosis. A core biopsy of breast masses is needed to exclude it, and appropriate treatment must be given if diagnosed.
