Abstract
Renal Burkitt lymphoma is an aggressive malignant extra-ganglionic blood disease. It is an unusual event in children. A case is reported below. The patient was 8 years old; she was presenting with acute renal failure and edematous syndrome; proteinuria was mild. There was no organ enlargement nor adenopathy. After a while the diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma was made after an anatomo-pathological examination of a kidney biopsy taken as part of an etiological assessment of this acute renal failure (urea=35 mmol/L, serum creatinine= 880 µmol/L) with an impaired general condition (WHO 3). The histological characteristics strongly suggested a lymphomatous process. An immunohistochemical examination confirmed renal Burkitt lymphoma. Unfortunately the patient died before chemotherapy was attempted
