title: Cutaneous non-epidermotropic lymphoma associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection.
abstract: A case of pure non-epidermotropic cutaneous lymphoma in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient is reported following a viral opportunistic infection [cytomegalovirus (CMV) hepatitis]. The lymphoid infiltrate was Epstein-Barr virus and CMV negative with a CD30-positive T-cell phenotype. Molecular analysis demonstrated T cell receptor gene rearrangement, but a non-aggressive disease course was noted supporting a cautious therapeutic approach in this case.
