This case study details recurrent body cavity-based non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in an advanced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patient presenting with pleural effusions. It highlights the importance of considering this rare lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of malignant effusions.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Immunology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Recurrent body cavity-based non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (BCBL) is a rare manifestation, particularly in patients with advanced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
  • Malignant pleural effusions can present without an obvious tumor mass, complicating diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A patient with advanced AIDS presented with bilateral pleural effusions and was diagnosed with recurrent BCBL.
  • The lymphoma cells were large, pleomorphic, and lacked typical T- and B-cell markers.
  • Immunophenotyping revealed expression of activation markers: CD30, CD38, and HLA-DR.

Findings:

  • The case illustrates a unique presentation of BCBL with effusions as the primary manifestation.
  • Radiological-pathological correlation is crucial for diagnosing BCBL in the context of pleural effusions.

  • The immunophenotype suggests an activated lymphoid malignancy.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the need to include BCBL in the differential diagnosis for AIDS patients with unexplained malignant pleural effusions.
    • Accurate radiological and pathological assessment is vital for timely and appropriate patient management.
    • Understanding the immunophenotypic profile aids in differentiating BCBL from other lymphoid malignancies.
