Abstract
Burkitt’s lymphoma is a common secondary neoplasm in patients with AIDS, and various tissue sites may be involved (lymph nodes, lung, gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system).1 The urogenital tract has been described in the literature as a primary tumor location in cases of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma but, to our knowledge, never in a case of Burkitt’s lymphoma. We report a case of Burkitt’s lymphoma and AIDS, in which the bladder was the primary and unique tumor locationFile in questo prodotto:
