Abstract
Skin involvement in Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is rare, more so in the pediatric age group. There are very few cases of BL involving skin either at presentation or relapse reported in literature. We report a case of a 9-years old boy with stage 4 Burkitt's lymphoma with skin involvement who tested negative for human immune-deficiency virus.
