En typ av odifferentierat, malignt lymfom, som förekommer framförallt i centrala Afrika, men också i andra delar av världen. Det visar sig oftast som en stor osteolytiskt svulst i käken eller i buken. B-cellsantigen uttrycks på de omogna celler som utgör tumörvävnaden i nästan alla fall av Burkitts lymfom. I Afrika har Epstein-Barrvirus isolerats från Burkitts lymfom, men de flesta icke-afrikanska fall är EBV-negativa.
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.
