Diagnosis of Burkitt Lymphoma
Clinical presentation in extranodal and nodal sites of rapidly expanding masses in high-risk populations suggests Burkitt lymphoma (BL). Most patients present with advanced disease because of the rapid rate of tumor growth. BL cells have a remarkably short doubling time.

Burkitt lymphoma is a unique B-cell malignancy with a high proliferation rate and characteristic genetic changes involving the c-myc oncogene. Burkitt lymphoma is common in children but also occurs in adults, where distinction from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma may pose a problem. The development of brief, very intensive chemotherapy regimens has led to a very high cure rate in children with Bu...
