Abstract
Unclassifiable B-cell lymphoma with features intermediate between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and classical Hodgkin lymphoma in an AIDS patient. Report of a case and literature review
Highlights
Patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have a high risk to develop non-Hodgkin (NHL) lymphomas
We present a female patient with diagnosis of advanced HIV/AIDS disease, who developed a nodal lymphoproliferative disease that was diagnosed as unclassified lymphoma with intermediate histopathological characteristics between diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL)
Lactate deshydrogenase level was of 1920 UI/L; the CD4-T_cell count was 136 cell/μL (8%) and the HIV plasma viral load 166 000 copies/mL
