Burkitt's tumor is a undifferentiated lymphoma of lymphocytes B with a characteristic histologic pattern often called as "starry sky". It is classified in two groups: endemic Burkitt's lymphoma (African form), and non-endemic Burkitt's lymphoma (American form). The extranodal involvement of the head and neck in the American type is uncommon, so the diagnosis can be delayed. The authors present in this paper a case of American Burkitt's lymphoma in a patient with gingival hyperplasia, and compare the epidemiological, clinical, radiographic, therapeutic and prognostic characteristics of the endemic and non-endemic forms of Burkitt's lymphoma.
伯基特淋巴瘤是一种B淋巴细胞未分化淋巴瘤,具有特征性的组织学模式,常被称为“星空”。它分为两组:地方性伯基特淋巴瘤(非洲型)和非地方性伯基特淋巴瘤(美洲型)。美洲型伯基特淋巴瘤头颈部结外受累并不常见,因此诊断可能会延迟。本文作者报告了1例伴有牙龈增生的美洲伯基特淋巴瘤病例,并比较了地方性和非地方性伯基特淋巴瘤的流行病学、临床、影像学、治疗及预后特征。
