Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that manifests in patients with the diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), more prominently in the head, neck, and oral mucosal region. The diagnosis of this rare lymphoma serves as a concomitant diagnosis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The case is of a 33-year-old previously healthy male, with an unknown diagnosis of HIV with a painful right mandibular mass. He was subsequently diagnosed with PBL and HIV. This case of PBL illustrates the importance of linking a rare and potentially life-threatening diagnosis as a possible first manifestation of HIV.
浆母细胞淋巴瘤(PBL)是一种非霍奇金淋巴瘤亚型,主要发生在人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)诊断患者中,更常见于头颈部和口腔黏膜区域。这种罕见淋巴瘤的诊断是获得性免疫缺陷综合征的伴随诊断。该病例为一名 33 岁既往健康的男性,患有未知的 HIV 感染,右侧下颌有疼痛性肿块。随后被诊断为 PBL 和 HIV。该例 PBL 说明了将罕见且可能危及生命的诊断与 HIV 的首次表现联系起来的重要性。
