ABSTRACT
CASO CLÍNICO: Una mujer de 35 años, sin antecedentes médicos conocidos, acudió a nuestro servicio de urgencias por proptosis dolorosa de rápida evolución. Los estudios de imagen mostraron una lesión que ocupaba senos frontales, etmoidales y órbita derecha. De acuerdo a la biopsia se diagnosticó de linfoma de Burkitt. La serología fue positiva para el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH). CONCLUSIÓN: La afectación orbitaria es poco frecuente en el linfoma de Burkitt asociado al VIH. Es importante tenerlo en cuenta, como diagnóstico diferencial de las proptosis, especialmente en pacientes inmunodeprimidos, por la implicación pronóstica que supone tanto a nivel sistémico como ocular
CASE PRESENTATION: A 35-year-old woman without any known systemic disorder presented with a complaint of painful and rapidly increasing proptosis in her right eye. Based on the clinical, radiological, analytical and ophthalmological assessments, the diagnosis made was Burkitt's lymphoma in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. CONCLUSION: Proptosis can be an unusual way of presenting with Burkitt's lymphoma associated with acquired immunodeficiency. This differential diagnosis is important because confirmation leads to a change in the vital prognosis of the patient
