Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated lymphomas has been considered a late manifestation of HIV infection, occurring more likely in the setting of deep immunosuppression (Grulich, AIDS 2000), namely CD4 cell count less than 200 cells/mmc, in patients with a prior diagnosis of an AIDS-defining event. Compared with rates in the general population, in HIV-infected people, the relative risk of immunoblastic lymphoma is increased about 600-fold and that of diffuse large cell lymphoma of about 145-fold (Cotè, Int J Cancer 1997; Biggar Int J Cancer 1996).
