Abstract

Massive bilateral breast involvement in the course of a Burkitt's lymphoma is reported as an exceptional occurrence in a 13 year-old girl, in early puberty. It was an extensive form, stage IV, with massive organ involvement but without CNS involvement. Chemotherapy (LMB 84) induced total cure (18 months disease free survival).
