Summary:Intestinal obstruction is a surgical emergency frequently encountered in routine practice, usually caused by abdominal adhesions. Although extra nodal lymphoma is most often localized in the gastrointestinal tract and may be responsible for intestinal obstruction, Burkitt's lymphoma is a very rare cause in adults. We report a case of Burkitt's lymphoma mimicking an intestinal obstruction in a 48-year-old adult who presented with an obstructive syndrome and altered general condition. Imaging and anatomopathological examination after immunohistochemical analysis concluded to a multi-systemic Burkitt's lymphoma. Chemotherapy was immediately started with complete remission.
