Non‐radiographic axial spondyloarthropathy (nr‐axSpA) is a clinical diagnosis of symptoms matching inflammatory back pain criteria without radiological lesions at the sacroiliac joint. The frequency of an early nr‐axSpA‐like presentation in lymphoma patients has not been clarified. Here we report a woman in her 20s with a fever and musculoskeletal discomfort. Detailed investigations revealed that she was suffering from Burkitt lymphoma in which nr‐axSpA‐like symptoms were a musculoskeletal manifestation of the disease, irrelevant to the anti‐neoplastic treatment.
