Burkitt's Lymphoma- A cancer of the lymphatic system, associated with the Epstein-Barr virus and also the cause of mononucleosis as well as other cancers. It is characterized by a large osteolytic lesion in the mandible or by a mass in the retroperitoneal area. It is a high-grade B-cell neoplasm and has 2 major forms, the endemic (African) form and the nonendemic (sporadic) form. Burkitt lymphoma is a childhood tumor but it is observed in adult patients.

Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic however , I'd figured I'd ask.
Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe
guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My site addresses a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe
we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
