Abstract
The authors observed a case of Burkitt's lymphoma, occurred in the mandible, of 6-year-old female patient who admitted to the Department of Oral Radiology, Kyung Hee University Medical Center. The serial radiograms, clinical findings, and microscopid findings had been taken and obtained following results: 1. In serial radiograms, invasive and infiltrative bone destruction in the both mandibular body region was observed. Perforation and erosion of cortical plate of the mandibular angle area and loss of alveolar lamina dura in involved teeth were also noticed. 2. In microscopic findings, a monotous overgrowth of undifferentiated monomorphic lymphoreticular cells found. Macrophages with and abundant clear cytoplasm are usually found scattered uniformly throughout the tumor, producing the very characteristic 'starry-sky' appearance.
