Childhood extranodal B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are often caused by Burkitt's lymphoma (BL). Treatment usually involves intensive polychemotherapy, and recent prospective trials show significantly improved outcomes. Surgery primarily involves conducting biopsies; ablative interventions are not recommended.

Various aggressive lymphomas entities have been associated with immunodeficiency. To provide further evidence that also MYC-negative high-grade B-cell (formerly Burkitt-like) lymphoma with 11q aberrations comprises an immunodeficiency-related subtype, we here conducted a comprehensive pathological and genetic workup of a 25-year-old patient with this type of lymphoma and simultaneous papillary renal cell carcinoma. The patient developed both malignancies following extensive childhood immunosuppression and a kidney transplant.

Article Synopsis
  • Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma primarily affecting children, comprising 40% of childhood NHL, while it's less common in adults.
  • Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most prevalent lymphoma, accounting for roughly 25% of NHL cases worldwide, and distinguishing between BL and DLBCL is crucial for determining appropriate treatments.
  • This article investigates the role of the Ki-67 marker, which shows significantly higher levels in BL (close to 100%) compared to DLBCL (40% to 90%), as a means to differentiate between these two types of lymphoma.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the link between pregnancy-related factors and the risk of childhood lymphoma, focusing on non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) in a large French case-control analysis.
  • Results indicate that maternal coffee and alcohol consumption during pregnancy, as well as paternal smoking, are associated with an increased risk of childhood NHL, with a dose-response relation seen in coffee intake.
  • The research suggests that understanding these associations can improve knowledge of childhood lymphoma aetiology, although further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
