This study reports the first well-documented case of sporadic Burkitt lymphoma arising in and confined to the uterine corpus in a 40-year-old woman who presented with vaginal bleeding. Endometrial curettings showed a diffuse infiltrate of medium sized lymphocytes with the characteristic morphologic and immunophenotypic features of Burkitt lymphoma. Fluorescence in-situ hybridization demonstrated the t(8;14)(q24;q32) translocation. There was no evidence of extra-uterine disease and the patient is alive without disease 10 months after hysterectomy and chemotherapy. This report demonstrates that Burkitt lymphoma can present as isolated, organ confined disease at unusual sites and with protean symptoms.

Introduction: Anal Lymphoma (AL) is a rare presentation of extranodal lymphomas, characterized by occurrence in the anal area and largely understudied due to its infrequency. This study aims to address gaps in knowledge about AL's demographic and clinical profiles, treatments, and survival outcomes, leveraging data from the SEER program.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 79 AL cases identified in the SEER database from 2000 to 2022; 36 stage I AL were identified and defined as localized primary anal lymphoma (L-PAL).

Preface And Importance: Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is a relatively rare post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD), and there is currently limited research on the occurrence of BL following adult liver transplantation.
Case Introduction: We report a 45-year-old male who developed BL that rapidly progressed at seven years after left liver transplantation. The patient eventually abandoned treatment due to severe clinical complications.
