title: Complete regression of early diffuse B-cell lymphoma in an HIV-positive patient on antiretroviral therapy alone.
abstract: There is no evidence that antiretroviral therapy (ART) alone may result in complete remission of aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphomas even though it improves the overall prognosis. We report a case in which early diffuse large B-cell lymphoma regressed completely after ART alone, raising the possibility that this may be sufficient therapy in selected cases.
