^les^aSe describe el caso clínico de un adolescente con un linfoma de Burkitt que debutó con dolor abdominal agudo. El tumor aumentó de tamaño rápidamente, se localizó mediante tomografía computarizada y se confirmó mediante estudio de la médula ósea. Se aplicaron dos protocolos quimioterápicos distintos, debido a la mala evolución, pero sin resultado satisfactorio. Se hacen unas consideraciones sobre el diagnóstico diferencial, especialmente con otros tumores primarios infantiles y procesos no neoplásicos.^len^aWe report the case of a male adolescent affected by Burkitt Lymphoma which presented as acute abdominal pain and rapid growth mass. It was characterized by computed tomography and diagnose was confirmed by bone marrow study. Two different chemotherapic regimens were used because of unfavourable evolution, but they were not successful. We consider some other causes of abdominal bulky in childhood, especially primary tumours and non tumoural diseases.
