Abstract
Burkitt's lymphoma is a type of B-cell lymphoma that grows rapidly and it usually localizes extranodally. Sometimes it occurs as leukemia-like infiltration. Lymph node involvement is rare. It has very high mitotic index. Starry sky view occurs as a result of phagocytosis of overproduced apoptotic cells by macrophages. Although it is a very fast growing tumor, cure can be achieved with intensive therapy. A twenty-six-year-old female patient presented to our clinic with a complaint of swelling in the neck. Fine needle aspiration biopsy was performed. Pre-diagnosis of the mass was atypical Burkitt's lymphoma. We agreed to perform excisional biopsy. In this paper we are presenting a rare case of 'Burkitt's lymphoma-like atypical diffuse lymphoid nodular-infiltration', finally diagnosed as a result of advanced hemato-pathologic analysis. Despite no oncological treatment, no recurrence occured in 1 year period of follow up.
