Abstract
Burkitt lymphoma is an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, characterized by rapid proliferation of B cells. It typically presents with abdominal masses or extra-abdominal involvement. Although rare, it can be a potential cause of cholestatic jaundice due to extrinsic compression of the bile ducts or direct infiltration of the liver or pancreas. In children, cholestatic jaundice can be associated with various etiologies, including infections, congenital liver diseases, metabolic syndromes, and tumors. The discovery of a rare and malignant cause, such as Burkitt lymphoma, adds complexity to diagnosis and management. In this article, we report a case of a child with cholestatic jaundice as a presenting symptom of pancreatic Burkitt lymphoma. We discuss clinical aspects, diagnostic modalities, and therapeutic options, highlighting the challenges encountered in diagnosing and managing this atypical presentation. A review of the literature shows that cases of Burkitt lymphoma with pancreatic involvement and cholestatic presentation are rarely documented, making this case particularly noteworthy.
