  • Title: HHV-8-associated lymphoma: state-of-the-art review.
    Author: Carbone A, Gloghini A.
    Journal: Acta Haematol; 2007; 117(3):129-31. PubMed ID: 17135725.
    Abstract:
    During the first decade after the discovery of primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), sporadic and serial reports suggested that Kaposi-sarcoma-associated-herpesvirus/human-herpesvirus-8 (KSHV/HHV-8)-associated lymphomas in their liquid and solid presentation are clinically distinct, representing part of the spectrum of PEL. In HIV-seropositive patients with serous effusions, these solid lymphomas were reported before the development of an effusion lymphoma and following resolution of PEL. More recently, solid lymphomas not associated with lymphomatous effusion have been found in HIV-seropositive and HIV-seronegative patients. Despite the diversification in the clinical presentation of KSHV/HHV-8-associated lymphomas, most cases demonstrated a similar morphology, immunophenotype and KSHV/HHV-8 viral status.
