[Muscle tumor in a girl with HIV infection: extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma]. / Tumoración muscular en una niña con infección por VIH: linfoma no hodgkiniano extranodal.

ABSTRACT

Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are the most common cancers in children with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Extranodal disease is the most common form of clinical presentation. Treatment with aggressive chemotherapy and highly active antiretroviral therapy has improved the prognosis of these children. We present a 10-year-old severely immunocompromised girl with HIV infection and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma manifested by a muscle mass.
