A case is reported of a child of white race with a maxillofacial localization of Burkitt's lymphoma (BL), and recent published data on epidemiology, clinical and therapeutic aspects, histologic criteria and immunologic properties of this lymphoma reviewed. The association in Africa of BL with the Epstein-Barr virus, and with remarkably constant cytogenetic anomalies suggests the need to recall the oncogenetic hypotheses for this affection.
