Overview
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Biopsy of the affected lymph nodes remains to be the diagnostic study of choice which confirms Burkitts lymphoma.
Study of choice
- Lymph node or extra nodal tissue biopsy is diagnostic of Burkitt's lymphoma.
- To view the characteristic findings of Burkitt's lymphoma biopsy please click here.
Staging
According to the Murphy staging system, there are four stages of Burkitt's lymphoma based on the number of nodes involved and the extra nodal spread.
Staging for Burkitt's lymphoma is provided in the following table:[1]
| Stage | Features |
|---|---|
| Stage I |
|
| Stage II |
|
| Stage IIR |
|
| Stage III |
|
| Stage IIIA |
|
| Stage IIIB |
|
| Stage IV |
|
Diagnostic results
The following finding(s) on performing biopsy and FISH are confirmatory for Burkitts lymphoma :
