Burkitt lymphoma

Discussion:

Burkitt's lymphoma is a highly aggressive malignancy with a higher incidence in pediatric and immunocompromised patients.

Abdominal involvement predominates at presentation and is usually extranodal.

Although the diagnosis of Burkitt's lymphoma is confirmed pathologically, imaging plays a critical role.

The initial imaging modality for abdominal Burkitt's lymphoma may be through ultrasound, mainly in the case of palpable masses, CT allows assessment of disease severity and dissemination for tumor staging.
