Abstract
Burkitt lymphoma in HIV-infected patients is seldom seen in the oral cavity, and they are rarely reported in the literature. The clinical manifestations may suggest other tumors or gingival infections, which delays diagnosis and management. Spinal cord involvement is exceptional and only a few cases are reported. We report a case of Burkitt lymphoma in the oral cavity and spinal cord, revealing HIV infection in a 44-year-old patient, who responded well to chemotherapy and antiretroviral treatment and is on remission.
