Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a B-cellYderived lymphoma that is described as a subtype of the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, commonly seen in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection. The oral cavity is the first site of presentation with local invasion to the palate and the jaw and rapid dissemination to extraoral sites. The characteristic immunophenotype include the presence of plasma cell markers VS38c and CD138. Epstein-Barr virus and human herpes virus type-8 are strongly associated with the pathogenesis of oral PBL.Here, we describe a case of PBL of the oral cavity in a 55-year-old woman who was only treated with HAART and improved with a full remission of the neoplasm, which is probably related with a good control of the immunological and virological status associated with the highly active antiretroviral therapy.

“…11 Therefore, its onset is probably related to immunosuppression. The oral manifestation of BL in HIV-infected individuals has been reported in 8 cases, in addition to the present patient [12][13][14][15][16] (Table 1). HIV-related BL cases in general occur primarily in men, 14 with a median age of 41 years (range 19 to 61).…”

“…The prognosis of HIV-associated BL is related to the high tendency for lymphoma relapse and the high mortality associated with the progressive disease. 16 Of the 9 cases of HIV-associated oral BL (Table 1), the outcome was poor, except for the 2 cases treated with HAART. HAART is expected to improve the outcome by enabling patients to better tolerate fulldose high-intensity chemotherapy and preventing opportunistic infection.…”

Bone marrow necrosis as clinical presentation of plasmablastic lymphoma in an AIDS patient: First case reported and literature review

Patients with HIV/AIDS disease are at high risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) which is included as an AIDS-defining illness. Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) most frequently presents in the oral cavity and generally in patients with HIV infection. Extra-oral PBL is a rare tumor but with a similar capability to local invasion and rapid dissemination to extra-oral sites. Bone marrow necrosis (BMN) associated with high grade B cell lymphoproliferative disease is a rare condition that should be suspected in HIV-infected patients with unexplained fever and cytopenias. Here we describe the first case of BMN caused by a high grade NHL diagnosis as PBL in an AIDS patient.
