Abstract
Bowel obstruction is an uncommon clinical presentation in Burkitt´s lymphoma, specially in adults. This type of lymphoma is classified within B-cell non-Hodgkin´s lymphomas, which is characterized by its aggressiveness and quickly tumoral growth. The clinical presentation related to the gastrointestinal tract is unusual, but it can be presented as intussusception, obstruction or ischemic perforation. Here we describe a case of Burkitt´s lymphoma with bowel obstruction as a clinical debut.
