RESUMO

Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a mature B-cell neoplasm arising from germinal center B-cells. There are three epidemiological variants of which the sporadic variant is most prevalent in developed countries representing 1-2 % of all lymphomas in adults. Patients usually present with bulky abdominal masses and ~ 30 % have bone marrow involvement. BL is characterized by a germinal center B-cell immunophenotype and usually has a simple karyotype. Here we report an unusual case of sporadic BL in a 44-year-old man and we use this case to review sporadic BL in adults. The patient presented with a cecal mass and bone marrow involvement. Biopsy of the cecal mass and bone marrow evaluation showed infiltration by intermediate-size lymphoma cells positive for monotypic kappa, CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD38 bright, CD43, CD45, Bcl6 and ROR1, and negative for CD11c, CD23, CD30, CD44, CD200 and Bcl2. As expected, the lymphoma cells were strongly positive for MYC and Ki-67 showed a proliferation rate of nearly 100 %, but the cells were also positive for SOX11 and cytoplasmic LEF1. Conventional chromosomal analysis revealed t(8;14) as part of a complex karyotype. Based on our literature review, and is shown in this case, sporadic BL in adults shows some differences with the classic description of BL in children. We also discuss the differential diagnosis of BL.

RESUMO

Helicobacter pylori infection is seropositive in ~50% of people globally. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate its prevalence in dyspepsia patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) from January to June 2022 to find out the prevalence and risk factors of H. pylori in dyspepsia patients. A prevalidated questionnaire was used to collect the data from 180 patients. This study adheres to the principles outlined in the Helsinki Declaration. The χ 2-test was applied, and the odds ratio and 95% CI were calculated to find the association of H. pylori with the risk factors. Results: A total of 180 patients were enrolled in this study, of whom, 73 (40.6%) patients were male and 107 (59.4%) were female. In seropositive H. pylori patients, 80 (60.6%) patients had nausea or vomiting, 110 (83.3%) patients were found to have flatulence, 128 (97.7%) patients were experiencing frequent burping, and 114 (86.4%) patients were having epigastric pain. The household member greater than 4, smoking, rural area residence, NSAIDs consumption, BMI greater than 25, O+ blood group, and Rhesus positive status were significantly associated with H. pylori with a P value of less than 0.05. Conclusion: This study concludes that the prevalence of H. pylori in our population is high, and the risk factors identified are lower class, BMI greater than 25, smoking, O+ blood group, NSAID consumption, rural area residence, household member greater than 4, Rhesus positive status, and the symptoms of nausea or vomiting, frequent burping, epigastric pain, and flatulence. Patients with an increased number of risk factors should be taken into consideration for an appropriate checkup.
