title: Primary Burkitt's lymphoma of endometrium and bilateral ovaries in a 6-year-old female: report of a rare entity and review of the published work.
abstract: We report a case of a 6-year-old girl with primary Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) of endometrium and bilateral ovaries of 1-month duration. To the best of our knowledge, few cases of childhood primary BL of bilateral ovaries have been reported worldwide. However, extensive search of the published work did not reveal any case of primary BL of endometrium and both ovaries. Although rare, BL is a potentially curable malignancy with good prognosis.
