Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL) is an aggressive and rapid neoplasm that is curable and highly sensitive to chemotherapy. It can affect any organ or part of the body, leading to several clinical presentations. Early diagnosis and treatment of BL are very important before landing life-threatening complications such as airway compromise and compression of vital structures such as the spinal cord. This is a case of a 10-year-old boy, who developed BL at the posterior part of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx. This case report aims to describe the rarity of the location, course of the pathology, clinical presentations, investigations, and treatment. As BL is an aggressive neoplasm and is considered a serious health problem, it needs timely diagnosis for prompt and appropriate treatment. |
