چکیده
Burkitt’s lymphoma is a highly aggressive lymphoma often presenting at extranodal sites or as an acute leukemia. It is synonymous with L3 B ALL in the FAB, small non-cleaved cell, Burkitt’s type in the working formulation (WF). Historically, the prognosis in adults was poor despite early CR rates, however, recently more dose-intense regimens with CNS prophylaxis similar to pediatric regimens have demonstrated that cure may be achieved in a substantial number of cases [1-4]. There are limited sized series dedicated to this histologic subtype alone.
