Concurrent mycobacterial infection and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at the same site in an AIDS patient.
A 31 years old Chinese male with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) presented with concurrent mycobacterial infection and a synchronous non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the nose. The diagnoses were made over a period of two months. Treatment for the mycobacterial infection was administered but he succumbed to the disease shortly after the diagnosis of NHL was established. This was an unusual case where two pathologies occurred in the same site in a patient with AIDS.
