Abstract: Objective:To improve the understanding of sporadic adult Burkitt lymphoma.Methods:The clinical data of a patient with sporadic adult Burkitt lymphoma who was admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College in August 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, and the relevant literature was reviewed.Results:The patient visited the clinic mainly for abdominal pain and abdominal distension, and the disease progressed rapidly. The early pathological examination of an ileocecal mass showed B-cell lymphoma, which was treated with R-CHOP regimen chemotherapy, and the mass disappeared immediately. The patient's symptoms were slightly improved, but the ascites was not significantly improved. The diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma was confirmed by ascites test, and the treatment was adjusted to R-EPOCH regimen. The patient's condition was stable before the submission of this paper.Conclusion:Burkitt lymphoma is a highly aggressive malignancy, and cytological detection of serosal effusion is of important reference value in the diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma.
