Abstract
The authors report their experience on diagnosis of maxillofacial Burk itt's lymphoma using needle aspiration and cytology. In all the 21 pat ients presenting a histological proved Burkitt's lymphoma, the diagnos is was done before with cytology. This method has a 100 % sensibility. Thus, cytologic diagnosis of maxillo-faxial Burkitt's lymphoma is ver y reliable. In tropical areas with little revenues and where Burkitt's lymphoma is frequent, needle aspiration and cytology need to be well known and used.
