ABSTRACT
Burkitt lymphoma is a rapidly progressive disease which requires
imaging, biopsy, prompt diagnosis and early aggressive chemotherapeutic
treatment. We discuss a 7-year-old girl presenting with a persistent and
painful unilateral swelling of the jaw. Lymphomas typically manifest as
poor defined osteolytic lesions radiographically, as is presented in
this case.
