Conclusion:
Although Burkitt lymphomas are rapidly proliferating, aggressive,
high-grade lymphomas, the first sign may be extranodal involvement such
as toothache, and facial soft tissue swelling. Burkitt lymphoma should
be considered for tooth, jaw, and orofacial soft tissue swellings in the
differential diagnosis, and early diagnosis and urgent treatment are
life-saving in childhood and adult cancers.
Conflict of interest: None.
