Abstract

Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma considered one of the fastest-growing tumors. Due to its rarity in the adult patient, as well as its high aggressiveness, it is important to know how to diagnose it in time to improve the patient's prognosis and provide timely treatment. The aim of this paper is to present the clinical case of a young adult patient with Burkitt's lymphoma.
