Fistulizing Epstein-Barr virus-positive plasmablastic lymphoma in an HIV-positive man BRITISH JOURNAL OF DERMATOLOGY Rangel, J., Novoa, R., Morrison, C., Frank, D., Kovarik, C. 2016; 174 (2): 398-401

Abstract

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is an unusual subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma recently classified as a diffuse immunoblastic lymphoma with a plasma-cell immunophenotype. Originally described in the oral cavity of HIV-positive patients, it has also been recognized to occur rarely at other sites. We describe a previously unreported fistulizing presentation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive PBL, reviewing its association with HIV-1 infection and its importance as an AIDS-defining malignancy.
