Pediatr."],"abstract":"<jats:p>In children, 90% cases of intussusception are idiopathic and the remaining 10% are attributed to underlying diseases (most commonly due to Meckel's diverticulum, polyps then either duplication cyst or mesentery cysts, and rarely due to Burkitt's lymphoma). The occurrence of acute intestinal intussusception caused by Burkitt's lymphoma in children under the age of 5 is exceedingly rare. Burkitt's lymphoma presents with diverse clinical manifestations, often leading to the identification of an abdominal tumor in pediatric patients. This highly aggressive and rapidly proliferating neoplasm can induce indirect symptoms due to compression or direct involvement of the intestinal lumen, resulting in intussusception. Herein, we present a case report of ileocolic-type intussusception in a 2-year-old boy, which was attributed to the coexistence of Burkitt's lymphoma and Meckel's diverticulum. Notably, this patient exhibited atypical clinical features for Burkitt's lymphoma and did not belong to the high-risk demographic associated with this rare disease. Furthermore, this case represents a unique combination involving the most prevalent cause of Meckel's diverticula and the rarest etiology of Burkitt's lymphoma.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2024.1489118","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]],"date-time":"2024-12-05T04:24:41Z","timestamp":1733372681000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Case Report: Acute intussusception in a 2-year-old male patient: a rare case of Burkitt's lymphoma coexisting with Meckel's diverticulum"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Xinggui","family":"Fang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Biao","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ming","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaodong","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benquan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1101","DOI":"10.1007\/s00247-017-3878-x","article-title":"Intussusception: past, present and future","volume":"47","author":"Edwards","year":"2017","journal-title":"Pediatr Radiol"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"842","DOI":"10.1097\/PEC.0b013e318267a75e","article-title":"Intussusception: clinical presentations and imaging characteristics","volume":"28","author":"Mandeville","year":"2012","journal-title":"Pediatr Emerg Care"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"327","DOI":"10.1080\/00015458.2015.11681124","article-title":"Intussusception in children: a clinical review","volume":"115","author":"Charles","year":"2015","journal-title":"Acta Chir Belg"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"bcr-2018-224333","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2018-224333","article-title":"Sporadic Burkitt\u2019s lymphoma masquerading as an intussuscepted Meckel\u2019s diverticulum in a 9-year-old child","volume":"2018","author":"Ng","year":"2018","journal-title":"BMJ Case Rep"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"57","DOI":"10.11604\/pamj.2018.31.57.14793","article-title":"Rare presentation of chronic ileocecal intussusception secondary to Burkitt\u2019s lymphoma in three years Sudanese boy: a case report and literature review","volume":"31","author":"Saad","year":"2018","journal-title":"Pan Afr Med J"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3427","DOI":"10.1177\/0300060518777337","article-title":"Double simultaneous intussusception caused by Meckel\u2019s diverticulum and intestinal duplication in a child","volume":"46","author":"Yu","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Int Med Res"},{"key":"B7","first-page":"268","article-title":"Comparison between children and adults intussusception.
