Abstract: Objective To investigate the pathogenesis, diagnostic strategy and prognosis of pediatric tonsil Burkitt lymphoma(BL). Methods The clinical data of a child with tonsil BL involving the maxilla and pulmonary were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literature was reviewed. Results Pediatric tonsil BL is rare, and there are no clinical reports involving the maxillary bones and pulmonary. The diagnosis of tonsil BL relies on pathological examination. The main treatment approach involves high-dose, short-course, and multi-drug combined chemotherapy. Conclusion Pediatric tonsil BL is highly aggressive, and the disease progresses rapidly and has diversified clinical manifestations. Early diagnosis and timely chemotherapy are crucial for effective treatment of the disease.

Key words: Burkitt lymphoma, Children, Tonsil, Maxilla, Pulmonary, Clinical characteristics
