- Authors
Bush, Larry M.; Urrutia, Jose G.; Rodriguez, Eduardo A.; Perez, Maria T.
- Abstract
Despite treatment with potent and effective combination antiretroviral medications, the incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in the population living with HIV/AIDS remains significantly higher than that in noninfected individuals. The majority of the HIV-infected patients with NHL present with advanced stage extranodal disease of the B-cell phenotype. Lymphomas are the second most common tumors involving the heart in HIV-infected patients. Although the heart may serve as the primary focus of the lymphoma, in most HIV-related cases, cardiac lymphomatous involvement is part of a metastatic process that originated elsewhere.
