PY - 2017 T2 - Williams Manual of Hematology, 9e AB - Burkitt lymphoma (BL) may present in three distinct forms: endemic (African), sporadic, and immunodeficiency-associated.The endemic form is found in eastern equatorial Africa, with a peak age incidence at 4 to 7 years, and it is nearly twice as frequent in boys as in girls.Sporadic BL, defined as cases outside of endemic African regions, accounts for 1% to 2% of all patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).The incidence is higher in males than in females, and the median age of onset is 30 years.Immunosuppression-related BL increased in incidence during the AIDS epidemic.
