| Abstract: | Two cases of Burkitt lymphoma are reported who presented atypically with acute renal failure and significant proteinuria as initial features of the lymphoma. The cases underscore the need for high index of suspicion for Burkitt lymphoma in any child with rapidly enlarging kidneys and acute renal failure of obscured origin in parts of the world where Burkitt lymphoma is endemic. |
