HIV-assocated lymphoma: a case report.
We report the case of a 3(1/2) year old boy who presented with sudden onset of headache. Fever and swelling of the left eye. He had complete opthalmoplegia of the left eye and 6th cranial nerve paralysis in the right eye. He was thought to have cavenous sinus thrombosis but CT findings suggestive of lymphoma led to the correct diagnosis of HIV associated Lymphoma It view of the rising incidence of HIV infection and the protein clinical manifestations, it is advised that all patients with disseminated tumour masses should be screened for the HIV virus, and CT examination should be made available to patients.
