OBJECTIVE To study the relationship between Burkitt's lymphoma and Epstein-Barr (EB) virus. METHODS Two cases of primary nasopharyngeal Burkitt's lymphoma in children were studies. Clinical features include nasal obstruction and dyspnea. The histology of Burkitt's lymphoma was confirmed by use of immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization and double labelling techniques, the immunophenotype and EB virus locating sites were investigated. RESULTS The EB positive cells are B cells and represent 60%-95% of the tumor cells. CONCLUSIONS Nasopharyngeal primary Burkitt's lymphoma is associated with EB virus in Chinese.

D002051 Burkitt Lymphoma A form of undifferentiated malignant LYMPHOMA usually found in central Africa, but also reported in other parts of the world. It is commonly manifested as a large osteolytic lesion in the jaw or as an abdominal mass. B-cell antigens are expressed on the immature cells that make up the tumor in virtually all cases of Burkitt lymphoma. The Epstein-Barr virus (HERPESVIRUS 4, HUMAN) has been isolated from Burkitt lymphoma cases in Africa and it is implicated as the causative agent in these cases; however, most non-African cases are EBV-negative.
