Early orbital involvement in a rare diagnosis of Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration

Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration is a rare condition that poses a diagnostic challenge due to similarities with Burkitt's lymphoma. Due to the rarity of cases, no specific guidelines exist for therapy, and it is treated the same way as Burkitt's lymphoma. We present such a case with initial orbital involvement, an unusual manifestation. Our patient achieved remission with induction chemotherapy, although he will need regular follow-up given the paucity of information on long-term monitoring in these patients.
