The incidence of Burkitt lymphoma (BL) during pregnancy is rare. We report a case of nasal BL with symptoms mimicking chronic rhinosinusitis and extensive unilateral polyposis in a pregnant woman.

She has kept free of disease for 9 months since the completion of treatment. When a physician is confronted with unusual localization among the polypoid tissue described here, a complete differential diagnosis must be done.
