Descriptor	linfoma de Burkitt
Entry term(s)	B-ALL LLA-B leucemia de Burkitt leucemia de células de Burkitt leucemia linfoblástica de tipo Burkitt leucemia linfocítica B aguda leucemia linfocítica aguda de células B linfoma africano tumor de Burkitt
Scope note:	Forma de linfoma maligno indiferenciado que suele encontrarse en África central, pero también en otras partes del mundo. Habitualmente se manifiesta como una gran lesión osteolítica en la mandíbula o como una masa abdominal. Los antígenos de los linfocitos B se expresan en las células inmaduras que constituyen el tumor prácticamente en todos los casos de linfoma de Burkitt. Se ha aislado el virus Epstein-Barr (HERPESVIRUS 4 HUMANO) en los casos de linfoma de Burkitt en África y está implicado como agente causal en estos casos; sin embargo, la mayoría de los casos que se presentan fuera de África son VEB negativos.

Scope note:

A form of undifferentiated malignant LYMPHOMA usually found in central Africa, but also reported in other parts of the world. It is commonly manifested as a large osteolytic lesion in the jaw or as an abdominal mass. B-cell antigens are expressed on the immature cells that make up the tumor in virtually all cases of Burkitt lymphoma. The Epstein-Barr virus (HERPESVIRUS 4, HUMAN) has been isolated from Burkitt lymphoma cases in Africa and it is implicated as the causative agent in these cases; however, most non-African cases are EBV-negative.
