Appendicitis is a very rare presenting symptom of abdominal Burkitt's lymphoma. Only four cases have previously been identified in the literature, all of them males. This is the first reported case of a female as well as the youngest and is representative of the therapeutic considerations in this unusual manifestation of the disease.
