Burkitt lymphoma, a variety of NHL, is most common in sub-Saharan Africa, where it accounts for approximately one half of childhood cancers. A case of paravertebral high grade non Hodgkin«SQ»s lymphoma (Lymphoblastic Lymphoma) «SQ»masquerading«SQ» as Pott«SQ»s disease in a 13-year old child is reported.
