Abstract
Different types of lymphoproliferations have been recognized in the setting of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. These lesions comprise HIV-related lymphoid hyperplasia of various kind and overt malignant lymphomas. Lymphomas arising in the setting of HIV infection have been subclassified based on their occurrence in immunocompromised individuals, in the setting of HIV exclusively, and those occurring in immunocompetent individuals as well (Raphael M, In: Swerdlow SH et al (eds) WHO classification of tumours of haematopoietic and lymphoid tissues. IARC, Lyon, 2008a).
