Source abstract
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma with rapid proliferation. Typical manifestations include abdominal disease, B-symptoms and bone marrow infiltration, while rare presentations may include nodal disease, facial palsy and breast involvement. This case report presents a 17-year-old girl with sporadic BL who developed peripheral facial palsy and rapid bilateral breast enlargement. This case highlights the importance of systematic follow-up after facial palsy in young patients and attention to associated symptoms and biochemical abnormalities suggestive of malignancy.
