Abstract
Two cases of Sporadic Burkitt’s lymphoma in children aged 11 and 8 years with primary symptoms in the oral cavity are reported. The first symptoms of the disease appeared in the oral cavity and were initially misdiagnosed as an inflammatory condition in one case and incidental findings not associated with the primary reason for visiting the dentist’s office in the second case. Biopsies of the lesions revealed the actual cause of the observed changes and contributed to the prompt initiation of polychemotherapy treatment. A review of current literature presents the known symptoms of Burkitt’s Lymphoma in the oral cavity and the available diagnostic methods. The role of the primary care physicians—the pedodontist and paediatrician—in the diagnostic and therapeutic process is discussed.
