description The presentation of Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is variable and highly dependent on its subtype. It often presents with non-specific symptoms and may appear in the jaw, bone marrow, liver, spleen, kidneys, ovaries, and gastrointestinal tract. This case describes a 50-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain and was eventually found to have Burkitt lymphoma, diagnosed by biopsy of a cecal polyp. Herein, we explore the diagnostic journey to BL and review the literature regarding its unique manifestations and thus the diagnostic challenge it can present.
