Plasmoblastic lymphoma, cavum, cervical lymph nodesAbstract
We report a case of plasmoblastic lymphoma associated with AIDS, located in cavum and cervical lymph nodes and without involvement of the oral cavity. In our review of literature this is the first case reported in this location. The histomorphologic and immunophenotypic findings and molecular analysis are presented and discussed.
