Burkitt's lymphoma is a highly aggressive mature B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with isolated metastasis to the optic nerve was found only in one case among nearly six thousand cases of all types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, bilateral simultaneous lymphomatous optic nerve infiltration without central nervous system (CNS) involvement has not been reported previously. Herein, we present a unique case of simultaneous bilateral optic nerve infiltration without concomitant CNS involvement in sporadic Burkitt's lymphoma.
Keywords: Burkitt’s lymphoma; Optic nerve; infiltration; metastasis.
