Burkitt\u2019s lymphoma is a B-cell lymphoma with highly aggressive features that rapidly progress and have early hematogenous spread. Sporadic Burkitt\u2019s lymphoma accounts for 1\u20132% of adult lymphomas worldwide. Extranodal sites are involved in approximately 40% of cases of B-cell lymphomas. Central nervous system disease is found in <15% of sporadic cases. Less than 5% of cases of all non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphomas present with radiculopathy, with the thoracic spinal region being most commonly affected.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nCase Description<\/jats:title>\nIn this report, we discuss the case of a patient with extranodal Burkitt\u2019s lymphoma within the nerve roots of the cauda equina who underwent surgical intervention due to the presence of lumbar radiculopathy and weakness. This patient also exhibited hematogenous spread with evidence of an intracranial lesion.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion<\/jats:title>\nThe diagnosis of Burkitt\u2019s lymphoma was atypical, given the presentation, clinical indicators, and the appearance of the masses on magnetic resonance imaging being similar to that of a neurofibroma or schwannoma. Surgical decompression provided tissue for biopsy. However, nerve root decompression was not possible due to diffuse involvement and infiltration of the nerve roots.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_701_2021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,4]],"date-time":"2025-04-04T08:34:50Z","timestamp":1743755690000},"page":"125","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Burkitt\u2019s lymphoma presenting as multiple nerve sheath tumors of the cauda equina"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Jason","family":"Milton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Grant Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Punit","family":"Pandya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Grant Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sergio","family":"Ulloa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, O\u2019Bleness Hospital, Athens, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vijay","family":"Kudithipudi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology Grant Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shakir","family":"Sarwar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology, Grant Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Victor","family":"Awuor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Grant Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_701_2021\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"526","DOI":"10.1177\/014107689408700915","article-title":"Effects of lymphoma on the peripheral nervous system","volume":"87","author":"Hughes","year":"1994","journal-title":"J R Soc Med"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_701_2021\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"56","DOI":"10.1186\/s13244-019-0733-7","article-title":"An update on Burkitt lymphoma: A review of pathogenesis and multimodality imaging assessment of disease presentation, treatment response, and recurrence","volume":"10","author":"Kalisz","year":"2019","journal-title":"Insights Imaging"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_701_2021\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"221","DOI":"10.14245\/kjs.2015.12.3.221","article-title":"Spinal Burkitt\u2019s lymphoma mimicking dumbbell shape neurogenic tumor: A case report and review of the literature","volume":"12","author":"Kim","year":"2015","journal-title":"Korean J Spine"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_701_2021\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"142","DOI":"10.4103\/sni.sni_60_17","article-title":"B-cell lymphoma presenting as multiple nerve sheath tumors","volume":"8","author":"Milton","year":"2017","journal-title":"Surg Neurol Int"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_701_2021\/ref-5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"249","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jns.2007.03.029","article-title":"B-cell neurolymphomatosis confined to the peripheral nervous system","volume":"260","author":"Shibata-Hamaguchi","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Neurol Sci"}],"container-title":["Surgical Neurology International"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/surgicalneurologyint.com\/burkitts-lymphoma-presenting-as-multiple-nerve-sheath-tumors-of-the-cauda-equina\/","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/surgicalneurologyint.com\/surgicalint-articles\/burkitts-lymphoma-presenting-as-multiple-nerve-sheath-tumors-of-the-cauda-equina\/","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,4]],"date-time":"2025-04-04T08:35:00Z","timestamp":1743755700000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/surgicalneurologyint.com\/surgicalint-articles\/burkitts-lymphoma-presenting-as-multiple-nerve-sheath-tumors-of-the-cauda-equina\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,4]]},"references-count":5,"alternative-id":["10.25259\/SNI_701_2021"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/sni_701_2021","relation":{},"ISSN":["2152-7806","2229-5097"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2152-7806","type":"electronic"},{"value":"2229-5097","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,4]]},"article-number":"125"}}
