Coming soonBurkitt's lymphoma is an aggressive, rapidly proliferating form of mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that primarily involves the lymphatic and hematologic systems.
It is pathologically characterized by the translocation and deregulation of the *MYC* oncogene on chromosome 8, leading to extremely high rates of cellular proliferation and a classic "starry-sky" histologic appearance.
The malignancy presents in three epidemiological clinical variants—endemic, sporadic, and immunodeficiency-associated—frequently affecting children, young adults, and individuals with HIV or other immunocompromised states.
Patients commonly present with acute, rapidly enlarging extranodal tumor masses involving the jaw and facial bones, abdomen, gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system, or bone marrow.
