Adult Sporadic Burkitt's Lymphoma Presenting with Rapid Development of Peritoneal Lymphomatosis

چکیده
Sporadic Burkitt's Lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which requires prompt diagnosis and treatment.

We present a unique case with rapid evolution of BL presenting as peritoneal and omental lymphomatosis with hepatic lesions and pelvic and pericardial adenopathy.
