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.30 Oct 2020Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 02 Nov 2020Submission Checks Completed
