Sporadic Burkitt Lymphoma With Orbital Extramedullary Infiltration

Background/Aims: Sporadic Burkitt lymphoma is rarely associated with orbital involvement. Methods: We present a case of sporadic Burkitt lymphoma with extramedullary subperiosteal leukemic infiltrates of the orbit and facial bones. Results: Follow-up examination after chemotherapy and disease remission reveals resolution of the subperiosteal infiltrates. Conclusion: Despite an aggressive presentation, cure is common with appropriate, intensive treatment. To our knowledge, this report is the first to photographically depict the resolution of extramedullary orbital subperiosteal leukemic infiltrates after appropriate chemotherapy. (C) 2018 S.
