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.
