A: Age-specific incidence rates for Burkitt lymphoma (BL) in the National Cancer Institute Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results 18 Registries Database (SEER 18, 1973–2012) B: Smoothed age distributions-at-diagnosis (Density plot) and dot plot for SEER 18, 1973–2012 (n = 5611) and Havelange et al (2016) (n = 24). The shaded area around the density line plots represents 95% confidence bands. The blue dots along the x-axis represent the actual age at diagnosis for the 24 cases reported by Havelange et al (2016). Despite the bimodal appearance of the Havelange density plot, the dot plot suggests a trimodal clustering similar to the SEER 18 density plot.
