Abstract
Burkitt's lymphoma is a highly aggressive B-cell lymphoma. In adults, the sporadic variant is rare, and its manifestation is usually in abdominal viscera. Clinical presentation in soft tissue is extremely rare, with few cases reported in the literature. They are aggressive tumors due to their rapid proliferation, with spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome being one of the most frequent metabolic complications. We present the case of a 57-year-old male without medical history with a rapidly growing mass in the right inguinal region who develops sporadic tumor lysis syndrome before treatment.
