Abstract

We report a case of a primary gastric Burkitt's lymphoma in a 8-year-old child, which first symptoms were abdominal pain, dysphagia, melena and a constitutional syndrome. The differential characteristics of this case are its peculiar gastric infiltration and the existence of oesophageal extension, which is very infrequent among this kind of tumors.
