There is a pathological wording or slang associated with this dyscrasia.

I don't understand the Q. Did you mean Burkitt's Lymphoma?

There is a saying that goes with this disease . For example "fried egg appearance", "nutmeg liver", "psuedopalisade arrangement",
"flea bitten kidneys", "egg shell calcifications"
What exactly does it mean??
