Burkitt's lymphoma is a common comorbidity of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus, but rarely the initial clinical manifestation of undiagnosed AIDS, especially for the otolaryngologist. We report the case of a patient with recalcitrant rhinosinusitis subsequently diagnosed with sinonasal Burkitt's lymphoma and HIV.

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.
