title: Extracavitary tumor after primary effusion lymphoma: relapse or second distinct lymphoma?
abstract: HHV-8-associated solid lymphomas which develop in extracavitary sites during the course of primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) could represent the relapse of original PEL tumors in different anatomical sites, or newly occurring distinct HHV-8-associated lymphomas, such as multicentric Castleman disease-related microlymphomas. HHV-8 episome clonality might help identify which event takes place.
