A 34-year-old postpartum woman with Burkitt's lymphoma is reported. Lymphoma involved the bilateral breasts chiefly, as well as the brain, ileocecal region and supraclavicular lymph nodes. Fourteen days after bilateral mastectomy, the patient suddenly went into a coma due to rapid progress of brain involvement. However, the coma improved the day after VEPA chemotherapy and radiation were undertaken, and the tumor-involved brain decreased significantly in size following chemoradiotherapy. Chemoradiotherapy produced the almost complete disappearance of the remaining tumor. The patient is now being treated by a maintenance dose of Endoxan and is doing well. Burkitt's lymphoma of the breast in the present case had the clinical characteristics of bilateral involvement with rapid growth arising during lactation and pregnancy.

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.
