Abstract: We report the case of a 9-year-old boy who presented with abdominal pain and was found to have an intussusception with a sporadic Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) lead point. Our case was unusual in that the patient did not present with the typical clinical features of BL, nor was he in a high-risk demographic for this uncommon disease.<br />Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared.<br /> (© BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2018.
