Burkitt lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, more common in the so-called "Burkitt lymphoma belt" where there is a high prevalence of malaria. It has also been associated with Epstein-Barr virus. This type of lymphoma responds very well to chemotherapy alone (Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Methotrexate and prednisolone in this case)

This case demonstrated the good response of Burkitt lymphoma to chemotherapy on imaging.
