“…Burkitt described abdominal lesions diagnosed postmortem in most cases, and in recent studies a shift to mostly abdominal presentations in equatorial African BL cases has been observed, most likely due to diagnostic improvements . Jaw involvement dominated the clinical picture, but EBV titers were not elevated in Japanese BL cases . Jaw lesions may be associated with oral mucosa injuries, local weaning practices, dental hygiene, or infant oral mutilation, conditions or practices common in regions of high BL incidence .…”

Background Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) is linked to a variety of malignancies; most endemic Burkitt lymphoma (BL) harbor EBV, whereas only a subset of the cases of sporadic BL is EBV positive. Procedure We retrospectively determined the herpesvirus seroprevalence at the time of diagnosis in pediatric non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients enrolled in NHL‐BFM (Berlin‐Frankfurt‐Muenster) studies. We accessed the seroepidemiological data from 1147 patients that became available during 1990‐2007. We included the records from patients 6 months to 18 years of age with BL, T‐cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T‐LBL), lymphoblastic precursor B‐cell lymphoma (pB‐LBL), diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL), or anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). Results EBV seropositivity was significantly more frequent in patients with BL than in those with T‐LBL. EBV was more prevalent in patients younger than 6 years of age and in patients with BL than in those with non‐BL or T‐LBL. Event‐free survival was significantly lower in varicella‐zoster–seronegative patients, but there was no indication of an association to complications due to varicella zoster infection. We found no associations between herpes simplex virus, varicella zoster virus, or human cytomegalovirus seroprevalence and the pediatric Central European NHL cases. Conclusion Early EBV exposure may increase the risk of BL in Central Europe. A higher involvement of EBV in European BL than originally reported appears at least probable. Our data support the thesis that the distinction between endemic and sporadic BL is artificial and should be replaced by the differentiation between EBV‐positive and EBV‐negative BL.

The clinical features of 34 patients with Burkitt's lymphoma diagnosed at the American University Medical Center (AUMC) are described. Ages ranged between 3 and 20 years (median, 7 years). Seventy-three percent of the patients were younger than 8 years. Three cases occurred among siblings. The primary site of disease at presentation was the abdomen, 23 patients; jaw, 6; jaw and abdomen, 2; Waldeyer's ring, 2; and mediastinum, 1. Of those who had abdominal disease, the involvement was diffuse and extensive in abdomen and pelvis in 9, apparently confined to the ileocecal region in 5, mesenteric nodes and small intestine in 5, large intestine in 1, and ovary in 3. One patient presented with paraplegia. The bone marrow was studied in 19 patients; it was positive in 5 and suspicious in 2. None had frank leukemia. CSF was studied in 4 patients at presentation and was negative. Eight patients developed meningeal lymphoma during the course of the disease. Liver involvement was documented in 3 patients. Peripheral lymphadenopathy was observed at presentation in 11 patients (9, neck; 2, inguinal + axillary). In contrast to African Burkitt's, the majority of our patients presented with abdominal disease, and in contrast to the American form, our patients were younger with a median age similar to that of African Burkitt's. Thirty percent of the patients had jaw tumor at presentation--a figure intermediate between the African and the American Burkitt's.
