Abstract
A girl aged 2 years 10 months with a Burkitt's lymphoma of the left temporal and mandibular area was presented and an analysis was performed in 133 reported cases with Burkitt's lymphoma in Japan. Combination chemotherapy was performed after subtotal resection of the tumor of the left mandibular area. After completion of treatment, she has been free of disease for 3 years and 8 months without any evidence of recurrence and metastasis. Burkitt's lymphoma is relatively rare in Japan. 133 cases have been reported in Japanese literature untill 1986; 78 were male, 52 were female and 3 were unknown. In 133, 82 were children with 53 boys, 28 girls and 3 unknown. Most of these cases died within a year changing to leukemia or central nerve invasion in spite of agressive treatment.
