title: Burkitt’s Lymphoma: Thorax to Pelvis.
abstract: Burkitt’s lymphoma is a sub-group of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma of high-grade with an aggressive clinical course and is
  composed of diffuse, small and non-cleaved, undifferentiated malignant cells of lymphoid origin. Dennis Burkitt first
  described this entity in 1956 in equatorial Africa. It is one of the fastest growing cancers in humans with a growth fraction
  close to 100%. It commonly occurs in children and young adults, with frequent involvement of bone marrow and central
  nervous system. These are considered to be medical emergencies and require immediate diagnostic and therapeutic
  intervention. In this report, we present a case of Burkitt’s lymphoma with unusual presentation with the involvement of
  both thorax and the whole of the abdomen.
