Abstract

Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is a high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of B-cell origin. The annual incidence of Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is low. In western countries, the incidence is 1% to 10% of all lymphoma. The incidence in Africa is 20 to 40 times the incidence of wersten countries. According to the World Health Organization (WI-b) recent classification, Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) depending on its histomorphology is subdivided into classical BL, which includes 2 variants, the atypical Burkitt/Burkitt-like lymphoma (BLL) variant and Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) with plasmacytoid differentiation. In this article, we report an unusual case of adult atypical Burkitt/Burkitt-like lymphoma (BLL) presenting as multiple pyogenic granulomas in oral cavity and review the literature. Further discussion on the differential diagnosis of Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) and atypical Burkitt/Burkitt-like lymphoma (BLL), as well as its histologic features, genetic features and clinical features were presented.
