title: AIDS-related non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: clinico-pathological characteristics and therapeutic strategies (review).
abstract: High-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), a diagnostic disease for the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), is a late manifestation of HIV infection and is generally related to severe lymphopenia. We reviewed the main clinico-pathological features of this disease and analysed its pathogenetic mechanisms with potential therapeutic implications.
