Burkitt lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. It is an aggressive form of cancer that is characterized by the rapid growth of B-cells, a type of white blood cell. It is most common in children and young adults, and is usually found in the abdomen, neck, or jaw. Treatment typically involves chemotherapy and radiation.

The most common symptoms of Burkitt lymphoma include:

The exact cause of Burkitt lymphoma is unknown, but it is believed to be associated with a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It is thought to be caused by a combination of a weakened immune system, exposure to certain viruses, and certain genetic mutations.

The main treatments for Burkitt lymphoma are chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and stem cell transplant. Chemotherapy is the most common treatment and involves using drugs to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays to kill cancer cells. Stem cell transplant is a procedure in which healthy stem cells are transplanted into the patient to replace the cancerous cells.
