Abstract

Burkitt's lymphoma, a highly aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, exhibits a distinctive predilection for rapid growth and systemic dissemination. While its primary manifestation is often observed in the lymphatic system, orthopaedic involvement has been increasingly recognized. This review synthesizes current literature to comprehensively explore the orthopaedic implications of Burkitt's lymphoma, encompassing clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, treatment modalities, and associated outcomes.
