The prognosis of adults with Burkitt's lymphoma is very poor and depends on initial CNS and/or bone marrow involvement. We report results in nine adult patients with CNS (n = 9) and/or bone marrow involvement (n = 7) treated in first complete remission (CR) with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). CNS treatment before the conditioning regimen consisted of cranial irradiation at 15 Gy (n = 8) and intrathecal chemotherapy (n = 9). The conditioning regimen included cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation (TBI) in a single dose. No postgraft CNS prophylaxis was administered. At the present time, seven patients are alive and disease-free at 18, 23, 44, 47, 54, 54, and 59 months. Two patients died at 14 and 7 months from transfusion-related acquired immune deficiency syndrome and bacterial septicemia and were disease-free at the time of their death. These preliminary results should encourage the use of BMT. A prospective randomized trial is warranted to further specify and investigate the advantages of allogeneic BMT versus conventional chemotherapy.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

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.
