Abstract

The patient was a 16-year-old male with a history of Burkitt's lymphoma, stage III, diagnosed at 3 years of age and treated with chemotherapy, who presented with fever, productive cough, dyspnea not associated with exertion and altered state of consciousness. On physical examination, patient in regular clinical conditions, generalized icteric tinge. He presented paraclinical findings suggestive of icteric syndrome and an abdominal tomography that reported dilatation of intrahepatic and extrahepatic ducts, so the diagnosis of obstructive icteric syndrome was made. In the case presented, the etiopathogenesis of this patient's diagnosis can be explained by an extrinsic compression of the biliary tract due to a probable recurrence of the underlying pathology 13 years after his diagnosis.
