Abstract
Burkitt lymphoma is a very aggressive B cell lymphoma, which can rarely involve breast tissue. Although it usually affects children, but primary breast lymphomas usually, occur in older age. In this report, we present a rare case of Burkitt lymphoma in a 40-year-old woman primarily presented by bilateral breast enlargement which shortly followed by gastrointestinal and bone marrow involvement.
