title: [Contribution to the true non-African Burkitt's lymphoma (author's transl)].
abstract: It is reported on a 6-year-old Middle European boy suffering from a nasopharynx tumor with involvement of a submandibular lymph node. The tumor was classified by morphologic, serologic and virologic data as a true or Epstein-Barr virus-associated Burkitt's lymphoma, resp., which has been, up to now, seldom seen outside Africa. The patient died 3 months after diagnosis. Autopsy has shown tumor involvement of nasopharynx and soft tissues in the left neck region, several lymph nodes, kidneys, liver, spleen, and bone marrow. Cytologic, light and electron microscopic data are reported and the structural change of the tumor is referred to.
