Primary gastrointestinal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a distinct clinicopathological entity. This is the commonest site of all extranodal lymphomas. Non-endemic Burkitt's lymphoma (high-grade, small non-cleaved lymphocytic type) is rare in non-HIV adult population. We hereby report Burkitt's lymphoma of stomach in a non-HIV adult. Gastric and lymph node biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. Patient was treated using a third generation chemotherapy protocol without any surgical resection. The patient relapsed within 3 months of completion of primary treatment and died of progressive disease.

D002051 Burkitt Lymphoma A form of undifferentiated malignant LYMPHOMA usually found in central Africa, but also reported in other parts of the world. It is commonly manifested as a large osteolytic lesion in the jaw or as an abdominal mass. B-cell antigens are expressed on the immature cells that make up the tumor in virtually all cases of Burkitt lymphoma. The Epstein-Barr virus (HERPESVIRUS 4, HUMAN) has been isolated from Burkitt lymphoma cases in Africa and it is implicated as the causative agent in these cases; however, most non-African cases are EBV-negative.
