Oral plasmablastic lymphoma, a rare cancer in immunocompromised individuals, was diagnosed in a patient with severe hemophilia A and HIV. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing this aggressive malignancy.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Hematology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Oral plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is an aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma predominantly affecting individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or other forms of immunosuppression.
  • This case highlights a rare presentation of PBL in a patient with severe hemophilia A, medically acquired HIV, and hepatitis C.

Observation:

  • The patient presented with a two-month history of a firm swelling around a lower molar.
  • Clinical examination revealed a significant swelling, prompting dental extraction and subsequent biopsy of the surrounding tissue.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination of the biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of oral plasmablastic lymphoma.
  • The patient's immunosuppressed status was characterized by a CD4+ count of 192 cells/μL and an HIV viral load of 33,200 copies/mL.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare malignancies like PBL in the differential diagnosis of oral lesions in immunocompromised patients.
  • Prompt and accurate diagnosis is essential for initiating appropriate medical treatment and improving patient outcomes.
  • The co-occurrence of hemophilia A, HIV, and PBL emphasizes the complex interplay of conditions in certain patient populations.
