Burkitt Lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. It is a rare form of cancer that primarily affects children and young adults. This cancer is characterized by the rapid growth of malignant cells in the lymph nodes. Though it's uncommon, synonyms for Burkitt Lymphoma include Burkitt-like lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and lymphoblastic lymphoma. As Burkitt Lymphoma shares commonalities with some other types of lymphoma, the terms double-hit lymphoma and triple-hit lymphoma may also be used to describe Burkitt Lymphoma cases where B-cell lymphoma is present. Notably, these synonyms are used so that medical professionals can understand the exact type of lymphoma a patient has when discussing the disease.
