Spinal cord compression caused by anaplastic large cell lymphoma in an HIV infected individual
Kumar, Susheel; Wanchu, Ajay; Sharma, Aman; Mukherjee, Kanchan; Radotra, B. D.; Gupta, Vivek & Singh, Surjit
Abstract
Lymphomas occur with an increased frequency in patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. These are usually high-grade immunoblastic lymphomas and primary central nervous system lymphomas. Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a distinct type of non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma. It is uncommon in HIV infected individuals. We describe here an uncommon presentation of this relatively rare lymphoma in the form of spinal cord compression syndrome in a young HIV infected individual.
