Childhood Burkitt lymphoma: abdominal and pelvic imaging findings.

Abstract

Burkitt lymphoma in children can be localized or disseminated and can involve various sites. Our objective is to review the clinical presentation and abdominopelvic imaging findings of Burkitt lymphoma in the pediatric population. Numerous abdominal and pelvic imaging findings are seen in Burkitt lymphoma affecting the gastrointestinal tract and solid organs. Recognition of the common and uncommon imaging findings is essential in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with Burkitt lymphoma because prompt therapy is critical.
