Int J Oncol. 2002 Mar;20(3):611-5.

Abstract

High-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), a diagnostic disease for the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), is a late manifestation of HIV infection and is generally related to severe lymphopenia. We reviewed the main clinico-pathological features of this disease and analysed its pathogenetic mechanisms with potential therapeutic implications.
