Abstract

Primary gastric lymphoma in the pediatric population is rare and the role of Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) in its pathogenesis is unclear. In this report, we describe a case of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (Burkitt’s type) coexisting with H. pylori and discuss the potential relationship between H. Pylori and gastric Burkitt lymphoma.
