Abstract
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a poorly differentiated non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma, more frequent in children than in adults. The extranodal debut of the disease is rare. We report a 43-year-old male patient with history of dyspnea. Burkitt lymphoma diagnosis was reached after biopsy of a pleural lesion. An initial staging F-FDG-PET/CT revealed large high-uptake lymphatic clusters in mediastinum, lung hilum, and extranodal involvement in pleura, pericardium, periphery of liver and spleen, all the omentum and peritoneum down to the pelvic floor, and bone marrow infiltration.Entities:
