Core Tip |
Malignant lymphoma is a rare form of gallbladder malignancy, and Burkitt’s lymphoma of the gallbladder is especially rare, with only two previous reports available in the literature. We report a case of gallbladder Burkitt’s lymphoma that was preoperatively indistinguishable from gallbladder carcinoma. Unfortunately, the patient had lymphoma recurrence immediately after the surgery because of delayed chemotherapy initiation owing to postoperative complications due to an extended surgery. Although accurate preoperative diagnosis of gallbladder malignant lymphoma is quite difficult, some findings are suggestive of gallbladder malignant lymphoma, and hence, biopsy is recommended in these cases. |
