Abstract

Burkitt lymphoma, which was described by Dennis Burkitt in 1958, is characterized as a diffuse undifferentiated lymphoma. It afflicts children of the 1st or 2nd decades, and usually presents as a jaw or abdominal tumor. The author experienced a case of Burkitt lymphoma in a 30-year-old female, whose right mandible and ascending colon were afflicted, and discussed the clinical, radiological, and histopathological features with brief review of literatures.
