  • Title: Human immunodeficiency virus-associated large-cell immunoblastic lymphoma presenting as a perianal abscess.
    Author: Mehta K, Pawel BR.
    Journal: Arch Pathol Lab Med; 1989 May; 113(5):531-3. PubMed ID: 2712677.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of perianal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that presented as a perianal abscess in an otherwise asymptomatic intravenous drug abuser who tested positively for human immunodeficiency virus infection. Extranodal lymphoma of the anal canal is a very rare event, which has recently been described in homosexual men with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. This is the first report, to our knowledge, of perianal lymphoma occurring in a nonhomosexual patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
