Burkitt's lymphoma (BL), a variety of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, is uncommon in India. Cardiac involvement in sporadic BL is rare. Cardiac involvement may be primary or a part of a systemic disease process. It affects the endocardium, myocardium, or pericardium. Cardiac symptoms may or may not be present in the early clinical stages. We are presenting a case of sporadic BL in a 13-year-old child with cardiac and systemic involvement.
