Sumario:We report a case of a 87-year-old woman with a Burkitt's Lymphoma of the Bladder. She presented with hematuria. Cystoscopy, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed extramural invasion of a 6-cm-sized tumor that extended from the right wall to the neck of the bladder. The histological pattern was Burkitt's lymphoma. The patient was then treated by chemotherapy. The tumor disappeared after 4 cycles of chemotherapy. The urogenital tract has been described in the literature as a primary tumor location in cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, however, it is rarely the tumor site in Burkitt's lymphoma cases.
