“Dance Moms” star Abby Lee Miller has been diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma just days after being hospitalized for emergency spinal surgery.

It was originally believed that Miller, 51, was suffering from an infection in her spine, but her orthopedic surgeon claims it was actually cancer causing her excruciating neck and back pain, as well as weakness in one of her arms.

“It was not an infection, it was a type of a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma … We’re getting an oncologist involved and we have to figure out what the next steps are as far as chemotherapy or radiation or more spine surgery,” Dr. Hooman Melamed, who is treating the star, told People on Wednesday night.

“There’s a chance this can spread to any part of the body … this is probably coming from somewhere else,” he added. “We don’t know where the source is. Any tumor that spreads anywhere is automatically Stage 4, but we have not determined the stage yet.”

Burkitt’s lymphoma is a cancer that grows in immune system cells called B-cells. It is one of the fastest-growing tumors in humans; if left untreated, Burkitt’s lymphoma can be quickly fatal, according to WedMD.
