The imaging procedures utilized at presentation in the diagnostic work-up of 19 children with Burkitt lymphoma were reviewed. The distribution of disease was compared to other tumors of childhood so that the most valuable modalities could be identified. Burkitt lymphoma is a rapidly growing tumor in the child, making it essential to suggest the diagnosis as quickly as possible so that biopsy and treatment can be instigated. The primary area of involvement was abdominal (15 of 19), gastrointestinal, intraperitoneal adenopathy, hepatic and pancreatic without retroperitoneal adenopathy. Pleural effusions were common without hilar and mediastinal adenopathy. This is in contrast to other tumors of childhood where mediastinal and hilar disease in the chest and retroperitoneal node involvement in the abdomen are common. Thus sonography is an excellent imaging modality, easily identifying the extent of the disease and so suggesting the diagnosis.
对19例伯基特淋巴瘤患儿诊断检查时初诊所采用的影像学检查程序进行了回顾。将疾病分布与其他儿童肿瘤进行比较，以便确定最有价值的检查方法。伯基特淋巴瘤是儿童期快速生长的肿瘤，因此尽快做出诊断并启动活检和治疗至关重要。主要受累部位为腹部（19例中的15例），包括胃肠道、腹腔淋巴结肿大、肝脏和胰腺，无腹膜后淋巴结肿大。胸腔积液常见，无肺门和纵隔淋巴结肿大。这与其他儿童肿瘤不同，其他儿童肿瘤常见胸部纵隔和肺门疾病以及腹部腹膜后淋巴结受累。因此，超声检查是一种极好的影像学检查方法，能轻松确定疾病范围并提示诊断。
