Clinical, radiographic, histological, and immunostained photographs of our case of Burkitt's lymphoma. (A) Two soft tissue swellings were found, one at the buccal gingiva of the left mandibular first molar and the other at the left mandibular retromolar area. (B and C) The periapical and panoramic radiographies showed a radiolucent lesion at the bifurcation and periapical areas of the left mandibular first molar, but the left mandibular retromolar cortical bone was not remarkable. (D) Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained tissue section showing a small blue cell tumor with starry-sky appearance (original magnification, 20×). (E) The darkly staining blue cells were CD20-positive (immunostain; original magnification, 10×). (F) Nearly all lymphoma cells were Ki-67-positive. (immunostain; original magnification, 10×). (G) In situ hybridization revealed Epstein–Barr virus DNA in the nuclei of the lymphoma cells (original magnification, 10×).
