Since the recognition of Kaposi's sarcoma as a manifestation of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, subsequent malignancies such as non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma and primary central nervous system lymphoma have been found to be associated with individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and current concepts of pathogenesis are reviewed in this article. In addition, the relation between HIV and other malignancies, including Hodgkin's lymphoma, T-cell lymphomas, and anorectal carcinoma, is discussed. In general, HIV-related malignancies are more aggressive, respond poorly to treatment, and are associated with an extremely high rate of mortality.
