Abstract: | We describe the case of a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who had a CD4 cell count of 60/microL, bilateral hilar adenopathy, and hypercalcemia. Transbronchial biopsy showed T-cell anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Serology was negative for human T-cell leukemia virus-I (HTLV-I). This appears to be the first case of T-cell anaplastic large cell lymphoma occurring in an AIDS patient with hypercalcemia who was seronegative for HTLV-I. |
