“…In the series reported by Aderele et al [4], clinical pleural effusion was found in only 2.4% of cases studied. This low incidence is similar to results obtained from the present study but contrasts with the high incidence of pleural effusions among American children with this disease [2,3]. Alford et al [2] reported pulmonary parenchymal nodules in two cases but noted the absence of hilar or mediastinal adenopathy in all the 12 cases studied.…”

“…Alford et al [2] reported pulmonary parenchymal nodules in two cases but noted the absence of hilar or mediastinal adenopathy in all the 12 cases studied. The results of Dunnick et al [3] also showed a low incidence of mediastinal adenopathy seen in only 3 cases (7.5%) out of 40 children. These observations contrast with the present study among African patients who showed mediastinal adenopathy in 8 cases (72.7%) out of 11.…”

“…American children with this disease, however, more commonly present with abdominal lesions [2,3]. The intrathoracic findings in this condition are usually those of pleural effusions and mediastinal lymphadenopathy [2][3][4].…”

Analysis of the plain chest radiographs of 11 children with Burkitt's lymphoma showed that mediastinal adenopathy was the commonest abnormality present. One child showed a pulmonary infiltrative pattern which had previously been undescribed in this disease. Nigerian children with this lymphoma present more commonly with mediastinal glandular enlargement whereas pleural effusion is more frequently encountered in Caucasians.

“…This high incidence of pleural effusions and no evidence of mediastinal and hilar adenopathy corresponds with previous reports, though one study of 40 patients found three with hilar and mediastinal adenopathy at presentation [8,9]. The other lymphomas have a high incidence of mediastinal adenopathy, though other solid tumors of childhood do not usually present with either mediastinal or hilar adenopathy or pleural effusion.…”

“…The areas of disease were primarily the gastrointestinal tract with no predilection .to a particular area, and intraperitoneal adenopathy. This distribution of tumor involvement has been confirmed by others [2,8,9]. In contrast, the primary areas of involvement in the abdomen in other lymphomas are the retroperitoneal nodes.…”

The imaging procedures utilized at presentation in the diagnostic work-up of 19 children with Burkitt lymphoma were reviewed. The distribution of disease was compared to other tumors of childhood so that the most valuable modalities could be identified. Burkitt lymphoma is a rapidly growing tumor in the child, making it essential to suggest the diagnosis as quickly as possible so that biopsy and treatment can be instigated. The primary area of involvement was abdominal (15 of 19), gastrointestinal, intraperitoneal adenopathy, hepatic and pancreatic without retroperitoneal adenopathy. Pleural effusions were common without hilar and mediastinal adenopathy. This is in contrast to other tumors of childhood where mediastinal and hilar disease in the chest and retroperitoneal node involvement in the abdomen are common. Thus sonography is an excellent imaging modality, easily identifying the extent of the disease and so suggesting the diagnosis.
