Burkitt Lymphoma is a highly aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that originates from B cells. It is characterized by the rapid growth of tumors in various parts of the body, particularly the lymph nodes, bone marrow, and central nervous system. Named after the British surgeon Denis Burkitt, who first identified the disease in African children in 1958, this lymphoma can be categorized into three main types: endemic, sporadic, and immunodeficiency-associated.
