ABSTRACT
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a human lymphotropic herpesvirus, is presently the best known viral contributor to the development of human lymphomas and transforms normal resting B cells into immunoblasts. Especially a positive correlation has been found between the EBV- associated lymphadenopathy and the later development of EBV-carrying lymphoma in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Anaplastic large cell lymphoma(ALCL) is a clinicopathologically distinct category of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and classified as T-/null-cell type lymphomas in the revised European-American Classification of lymphoid neoplasms. We report a patient with EBV- associated B-cell ALCL and HIV positive. EBV-associated ALCL in HIV-positive patient usually has B-cell phenotype, so this lymphoma should be distinguished from the classical ALCL as were defined by the revised European-American Classification of lymphoid neoplasms.
