Abstract
There is recent evidence that the incidence of indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) appears to be increased in persons with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The current study was conducted to describe the clinical, immunologic, and pathologic characteristics of indolent B-cell lymphoma in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The current report was a retrospective study of 10 cases of indolent NHL identified from the AIDS-Lymphoma Registry at the University of Southern California School of Medicine. These patients were compared with 336 consecutive patients with systemic intermediate/high-grade AIDS-related NHL who were diagnosed and treated at a single institution. The pathology of the indolent cases included follicular lymphoma (five patients), small lymphocytic lymphoma (two patients), and one case each of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), monocytoid B-cell, and marginal zone lymphoma. When comparing the indolent lymphomas with the intermediate/high-grade AIDS-NHL cases, no differences were observed with regard to demographic characteristics or history of prior opportunistic infection. HIV patients with indolent lymphomas were found to have a significantly higher median CD4+ lymp...Continue Reading
