Abstract

Burkitt's Lymphoma was first descibed as "round cell sarcoma" in the jaw bone by Denis Burkitt in 1958. Although endemic in tropical Africa, it occurs in many other countries. Differences between African and non-African types include presenting sites of tumors, age at onset, frequency of late relapse after chemotherapy and association of Ebstein-Barr virus, but histologic features are identical. We report a case of Burkitt's lymphoma in tonsil where is relatively rare location with brief review of literatures.
