F Schabel, and A Koller, and H J Födisch, and H Haas, and R Kurz

Burkitt's lymphoma occurs endemically in Central Africa, but is also found sporadically in areas with temperate climate. A case of Burkitt's lymphoma found in our area is described. The literature in regard to the clinical symptoms, etiology and treatment of Burkitt's lymphoma is reviewed. At the present time cyclophosphamide is considered to be the drug of choice; it leads to a remission rate of about 90%.

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.
