Burkitt's lymphoma can be classified into three main types:
Endemic Burkitt's Lymphoma: This type is most prevalent in equatorial Africa and is often associated with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and malaria. It predominantly affects children and commonly manifests as a jaw or facial bone tumor. Sporadic Burkitt's Lymphoma: Found worldwide, this type is not linked to a specific geographical region. It often presents in the abdomen and can affect both children and adults. Immunodeficiency-Associated Burkitt's Lymphoma: This variant occurs in individuals with compromised immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS. It can present in various parts of the body, including the central nervous system.
