Gross pathological image of small bowel - small bowel intussusception due to Burkitt lymphoma
Gross pathological images of the resected segment of intussuscepted small bowel shows on its serosal surface (above) a 2.0 x 1.2 cm irregular, tan-white centrally ulcerated and umbilicated firm area. The opened image of small bowel (below) reveals a 3.4 x 2.9 x 1.2 cm irregular, tan-white, smooth, firm mass which was sectioned to reveal smooth, tan-white, glistening, homogenous cut surfaces.

The diagnosis was Burkitt lymphoma causing small bowel-small bowel intussusception.
