- Abstract
Introduction: Primary lymphoma of the appendix occurs in 0.015% of all malignant neoplasms of the appendix. The most frequent clinical manifestation is acute appendicitis, and pathological analysis is very important. Case report: Primary lymphoma of the cecal appendix, a 38-year-old man was admitted with acute appendicitis. Macroscopic histopathological study shows diffusely thickened white appendage wall. Microscopically: high-grade Burkitt lymphoma, ACL, CD20, CD10 positive, KI 67 positive 95%, CD3, BCL2, EBV negative. Postoperative: thoracic abdominal tomography showed a tumor in the right iliac fossa without lesions or adenopathies in the abdomen and thorax. The patient was treated with two courses of chemotherapy and a control abdominal CT was performed at 6 months, which showed the initial tumor. At 6 months the patient is stable and controlled.
