A 17-year-old African American female with human immunodeficiency virus infection presented with an unresectable intracranial neoplasm with mass effect upon the brainstem. Stereotactic biopsy revealed an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated leiomyosarcoma. Radiation therapy and gemcitabine were used to shrink the mass with the aim to make it surgically resectable. Prolonged neutropenia and recurrent skin infections led to the discontinuation of gemcitabine. The mass stabilized after radiation therapy and has decreased in size in 15 months of follow-up. EBV has been demonstrated in most smooth muscle tumors associated with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and other immunocompromised states. This is the first documented case of an EBV-positive intracranial leiomyosarcoma in a pediatric human immunodeficiency virus patient.
一名17岁的非裔美国女性,患有人类免疫缺陷病毒感染,因颅内出现不可切除的肿瘤且对脑干产生占位效应而就诊。立体定向活检显示为一种与爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)相关的平滑肌肉瘤。采用放射治疗和吉西他滨来缩小肿瘤体积,目的是使其能够进行手术切除。长期的中性粒细胞减少症和反复的皮肤感染导致吉西他滨停药。放疗后肿瘤稳定,在15个月的随访中体积减小。EBV已在大多数与获得性免疫缺陷综合征及其他免疫功能低下状态相关的平滑肌瘤中得到证实。这是首例记录在案的儿科人类免疫缺陷病毒患者EBV阳性颅内平滑肌肉瘤病例。
