A case of nonendemic Burkitt's lymphoma in a 4-year-old girl with obstructive jaundice as the initial symptom is reported. On admission, the total bilirubin was 7. 3 mg/dl. Abdominal US and CT findings revealed a tumor mass in the porta hepatis and two masses in the pelvic cavity Subsequently, she underwent an elective laparotomy for tissue diagnosis. A small mass of tissue was removed from the tumor in the hepatoduodenal ligament, whereas the right ovarian tumor was resected. Both tissue specimens showed B cell lymphoma (Burkitt's lymphoma) with bone marrow involvement. From these data, the patient was diagnosed as having stage IV lymphoma. Following the diagnosis, she underwent chemotherapy, and has been doing well two months after the chemotherapy.
