Abstract
Burkitt's lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma occurring predominantly in children. In some cases, the first manifest site is the jaw, and the disease may be misdiagnosed as an infectious disease. A case of a 12-year-old boy with a painful swelling on the right retromolar triangle area is presented. At the time of the first visit, it was misdiagnosed as an osteomyelitis. Included are several characteristics and differential diagnosis of this disease.
