Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is an unusual subtype of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that was first described in the oral cavity. HIV-related lymphomas are frequently associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Recently, dual infection with EBV and human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) has been demonstrated in PBL. So far, a few cases of PBL occurring in an HIV-negative patient have been documented and all of them were associated with immunosuppression status and/or EBV infection. Here we report a EBV and HHV8-negative oral PBL occurring in an immunocompetent HIV-negative male, which would be the first case.
浆母细胞淋巴瘤(PBL)是人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)相关弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤的一种罕见亚型,最初在口腔中被描述。HIV相关淋巴瘤常与EB病毒(EBV)有关。最近,在PBL中已证实存在EBV和人类疱疹病毒8型(HHV8)的双重感染。到目前为止,已记录了几例发生在HIV阴性患者中的PBL病例,所有这些病例都与免疫抑制状态和/或EBV感染有关。在此,我们报告一例发生在免疫功能正常的HIV阴性男性中的EBV和HHV8阴性口腔PBL,这将是首例此类病例。
