Spontaneous regression of acquired immune deficiency syndrome-related, high-grade, extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Spontaneous regression of low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma often has been reported. Proposed mechanisms of this event have included concomitant infections and enhanced cellular and humoral antitumor responses by the host. Spontaneous regression of high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is rare and has never been reported in a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The authors report a patient with spontaneous regression of AIDS-related non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and discuss the role of host immunity in mediating spontaneous regression.

Radiation therapy for classic Kaposi's sarcoma presenting only on the glans penis.

Kaposi's sarcoma is an endothelial neoplasm with a variety of clinical presentations that rarely involve only the glans penis. Although it is recognized as a radiosensitive lesion, most of the reported cases of penile Kaposi's sarcoma have been treated surgically. We describe 2 otherwise healthy men with this unusual presentation of Kaposi's sarcoma who were treated with radiation therapy. These cases and a review of the literature demonstrate the role of radiation therapy in the conservative management of classic Kaposi's sarcoma involving the penis.
