ABSTRACT: Burkitt
lymphoma is an aggressive lymphoma and its clinical, immunologic, chemical
features are well-known. Burkitt lymphoma is in highgrade lymphomas and can
spread very rapidly. Burkitt lymphoma has been difficult to be cured with
conventional chemotherapy for adults. Early
autologous bone marrow should be kept in mind in first remission BL. We
presented a case of presenting with rapid and multi organ involvement with
BL. A 55-year-old male patient responded to the conventional chemotherapy for
short-term and died 9 months after diagnosis because of relapse of Burkitt lymphoma.
