MCGRATH, Henrietta W.H. et al. Unusual complication and successful high-dose chemotherapy treatment of advanced Burkitt's lymphoma in an adult HIV-positive patient. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.2, pp.1-4. ISSN 2078-6778. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v21i2.1230.
Adult Burkitt's lymphoma emerged as an AIDS-defining condition in the 1980s. We describe a case of HIV-associated adult Burkitt's lymphoma diagnosed and treated with high-dose chemotherapy in our institution, complicated by unusual bilateral renal vein tumour thrombi and tumour lysis syndrome. We believe this unique case highlights the need for early recognition of current and potential complications on staging computed tomography imaging, as well as successful use of a high-dose chemotherapy regimen.
