Burkitt lymphoma is a high grade B-cell hemathologic malignity and a subtype of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Primary leptomeningeal
lymphoma is a rare syndrome, characterized by lymphomatous meningeal infiltration with no evidence of either systemic lymphoma or
parenchymal central nervous system lymphoma. Malignant cells are found in the cerebrospinal fluid, within and around the meninges
only, with no invasion of parenchymal tissue. The infiltration affects also peripheral and cranial nerves or spinal roots. Polyneuropathic
syndrome is a common clinical manifestation of the disease. Nevertheless, the secondary metastatic invasion of the parenchymal central
nervous system is possible.
