Other B- and T-Aggressive Lymphomas and Lymphomas Associated with HIV

Abstract

AbstractBL accounts for around 2% of all adult NHL with a higher incidence in patients with immunodeficiency and in patients who have HIV infection. There is an endemic pediatric subtype in equatorial Africa, which is strongly associated with EBV. The clinical course of BL usually is highly aggressive with a Ki67 expression of nearly 100% requiring prompt institution of therapy.
