The management of duodenal malignant lymphoma presents challenges due to the presence of serious complications like obstruction, pancreatitis, and perforation. As a result, a combination of surgical measures and interdisciplinary procedures is necessary. We report a case of a 44 years old man suffering from abdominal pain and vomiting. CT images showed a voluminous intraperitoneal perforated tumour. Intra operative exploration showed that the origin of the tumour is duodenum, a resection was performed. Patient died few hours after surgery. Histological and immunohistochemical findings confirmed the diagnostic of burkitt lymphoma. The primary treatment for gastrointestinal lymphomas remains chemotherapy, but in cases of duodenal lymphoma, a significant number of patients need surgery due to complicated presentations.
