Introduction And Significance: The Fulkerson osteotomy, also known as anteromedial tibial tubercle transfer, is a surgical procedure used to address patellar instability. It aims to restore the extensor mechanism of the knee, primarily benefiting patients with recurrent patellar dislocations.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a patient with chronic recurrent patellar dislocation.

- Burkitt's lymphoma is typically found in the ileum but is rarely seen in the duodenum, needing a histological examination for diagnosis and showing a characteristic "starry sky" appearance with positive tumor markers.

- Although rare, Burkitt's lymphoma should be included in the differential diagnosis for duodenal issues to enable timely treatment, as it responds well to chemotherapy if no adverse prognostic factors are present.
