Burkitt's lymphoma is a high-grade malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, it is an undifferentiated B-cell lymphoma characterized by a distinctive histological pattern commonly referred to as the "starry sky" appearance that manifests in two clinical forms: the African or endemic form, which primarily affects children in Central Africa, and the American or sporadic form, initially described in North America. His naso-sinusal presentation is relatively rare, the diagnosis relies mainly on biopsy with histological examination. Treatment involves polychemotherapy and adjunctive therapies. In this report, a rare case of 16 years old boy of Burkitt lymphoma that originated in the sphenoid sinus extended to the nasal cavities, we will discuss the diagnosis of Burkitt’s lymphoma of the naso-sinusal area in relation to the literature on this subject.
