Abstract

Burkitt's lymphoma is a highly aggressive B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtype. Its occurrence in pregnancy is rare and often results in a delayed diagnosis. The treatment plan and prognosis depend on a number of variables including the stage at diagnosis. A 32 weeks pregnant, 34-year-old white woman presented with weeks of complaints that were similar to typical pregnancy symptoms. Laboratory and ultrasound findings suggested a pathologic process and during the workup non-reassuring fetal surveillance resulted in an emergency cesarean delivery. Biopsies were obtained that confirmed Burkitt's lymphoma. Placental histology revealed microscopic involvement. The placenta should be inspected for microscopic disease if Burkitt's lymphoma is suspected, even if a vaginal delivery occurs and the placenta is ordinarily discarded. Repetitive somatic complaints during pregnancy should not be assumed to be secondary to the normal symptoms of pregnancy.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 February 2018.
All research outputs
#18,587,406
of 23,023,224 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#2,280
of 3,947 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#329,481
of 439,449 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#48
of 85 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,023,224 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,947 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 439,449 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 85 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
