It is a high-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma with endemic, sporadic and human immunodeficiency-associated subtypes. The African, or endemic, variant usually involves the maxilla and other facial bones, while head and neck manifestations in sporadic Burkitt’s lymphoma are rare. Case description: Two cases of oral manifestations of Burkitt’s lymphoma are described on the right jaw in young patients, which had different clinical evolution and prognosis.
