Introduction

Burkitt's lymphoma is a rare and aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which is a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system. Burkitt's lymphoma is characterized by the rapid growth of cancerous cells in the lymphatic system, particularly in the jaw, central nervous system, and abdomen.

It is most commonly diagnosed in children, but it can also occur in adults. This type of lymphoma is highly treatable, especially when diagnosed at an early stage.
