Definition
English
:
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.
