BACKGROUND: Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is a rare, neuro-mucocutaneous disease which presents as orofacial swelling, facial palsy and fissured tongue. These symptoms may occur simultaneously or, more frequently, with a oligosymptomatic or monosymptomatic pattern. Swelling, that is the most common initial finding, may mimic hereditary or acquired angioedema, a disorder caused by histamine or bradykinin-mediated plasma-leakage affecting subcutaneous and/or submucosal tissue. The differential diagnosis of MRS includes also chronic inflammatory and infective diseases characterized by granulomatous infiltration, as well as rosacea, contact dermatitis, allergic reactions and Bell's palsy...

Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive, fast growing, mature B-cell non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) and has one of the highest proliferation rates of any human tumour. There are three forms of BL: endemic or the African form (eBL), sporadic or non-endemic form (sBL) and the immunodeficiency-associated form in HIV-AIDS.
