Abstract
Studies of American Burkitt''s lymphoma in 12 children showed a high incidence of abdominal involvement, including ileocecal masses with intussusception, retroperitoneal extension and diffuse bowel involvement. Pleural effusions were common, and 2 patients had pulmonary nodules. Three patients had diffuse renal involvement. The mandibles and other bones were not affected in any of the 9 patients tested. The first 2 patients survived 0.5-8.5 mo. The last 2 were treated more aggressively and were still free of disease 14 and 16 mo. after treatment, respectively. Early recognition of the clinical and roentgenographic features of American Burkitt''s lymphoma will contribute to improved survival.
