[Benign lymphoid hyperplasia associated with HIV: An exceptional orbital location]. / Hyperplasie lymphoïde associée au VIH : une localisation orbitaire exceptionnelle.

ABSTRACT

HIV-related lymphoid hyperplasia has been exceptionally described outside lymph nodes. To our knowledge, 3 cases of nasopharyngeal localisation have been described in the literature. We report here an intracranial localisation with an important ophthalmological clinical impact. Our observation allows us to approach the differential diagnoses of intracranial lesions in the HIV-positive patient, to analyse the differential diagnoses of benign lymphoid hyperplasia and to discuss the therapeutic options.
