We report an unusual case of CNS Burkitt's lymphoma with minimal extraneural disease, This 10-year-old immunocompetent boy presented with increased intracranial pressure and seizures and was found to have multifocal intracerebral lesions on brain imaging studies. Cerebrospinal fluid studies confirmed the presence of Burkitt's lymphoma cells. Abdominal computed tomography showed bilateral nephromegaly with left intrarenal lesions that disappeared after three doses of intravenous dexamethasone.
