Abstract:
Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are an increasing problem in the AIDS population. They are generally aggressive, high-grade lymphomas and more commonly present at extranodal sites, particularly the central nervous system. Although chemo- and radiosensitive, the duration of response is generally short lived. Spontaneous remission of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas has been reported in immunocompetent individuals, but has not been reported in HIV disease. We would like to report the first such case.
