Non-AIDS-defining malignancies in patients with HIV infection.
HIV-infected individuals are at an increased risk for development of cancers other than the three AIDS-defining malignancies. Two non-AIDS-defining cancers, germ cell tumors and Hodgkin's disease, have been reported in the setting of HIV infection with increased frequency compared with their incidence in the general population. Other non-AIDS-defining malignancies frequently reported in the setting of HIV infection include lung cancer, squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the skin, anal carcinoma, and pediatric leiomyosarcomas.
