Abstract
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma. It has a doubling time of 24 h. Fortunately, it is highly sensitive to aggressive chemotherapy. Sporadic BL often affects the mesenteric and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Extra-nodal involvement includes the ileocecal area, stomach, kidneys, gonads, and central nervous system. Peritoneal lymphomatosis is a rare presentation. We report a case of BL presenting with peritoneal lymphomatosis to emphasize the importance of early histological diagnosis of any peritoneal thickening.
