Burkitt lymphoma is described in the packet as a rare form of malignant mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It is also called Burkitt's lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma/leukemia, and small non-cleaved cell lymphoma, Burkitt's type. Subtypes listed in the packet include small intestinal Burkitt lymphoma and colon Burkitt lymphoma. Prevalence is recorded as unknown in the packet.
Specific clinical features, frequencies, and age of onset are not certified in this packet, so no symptom description is provided here.
The gene MYC, located on chromosome 8, is listed for this condition in the packet. The packet records the inheritance categories as multifactorial and sporadic. A ClinGen validity classification and a molecular mechanism are not supplied for MYC in the packet, so the nature of its role is not characterized here.
Diagnostic tests and criteria are not certified in this packet.
The packet lists two FDA records for cyclophosphamide products with an active market status: a cyclophosphamide injection solution (NDA, CDER, 2023-06-27) and FRINDOVYX (cyclophosphamide, NDA, CDER, 2023-06-07). The packet does not specify the indications for these records. FDA orphan drug designations are recorded for a CD20-CD47 bispecific fusion protein and for sepantronium bromide, with indications naming Burkitt lymphoma, and a designation for 6,8-bis(benzylthio)octanoic acid is recorded as withdrawn. An orphan designation does not indicate approval, development status, or availability.
57 trials found
Prognosis is not certified in this packet.
ClinicalTrials.gov records in the packet include early-phase studies in relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphomas, such as a venetoclax-based combination, anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cells, and nivolumab with or without varlilumab, along with a retrospective observational study of the toxicity of intensive treatment in adult Burkitt lymphoma and a biospecimen collection study in hematologic cancer. Several records cover broader groups of hematologic malignancies rather than Burkitt lymphoma alone. The intervention types represented include drug therapy, biologic therapy, procedural interventions, and gene therapy approaches. Active clinical trials for this condition are listed on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Updated Oct 7, 2026
A case study highlights scleral perforation in a young adult diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma, contributing to the understanding of ocular complications associated with this aggressive cancer. This research adds to the body of knowledge regarding rare disease manifestations.
A case report highlights paraneoplastic myopathy as a potential initial presentation of sporadic Burkitt lymphoma in an immunocompetent adult. This finding may enhance understanding of the disease's manifestations and improve early diagnosis.
A recent study highlights sporadic Burkitt lymphoma cases that lack MYC protein expression, presenting significant diagnostic challenges and a poor prognosis. This rare entity underscores the need for heightened awareness and improved diagnostic criteria in clinical practice.
