Abstract

Plasmablastic leukemia (PL) as a complication of human herpes virus 8 (HHV8)-associated Castleman's disease is marked by a rapid and fatal outcome. In patients with AIDS, survival of 7 to 14 days after diagnosis has been reported. Prompt splenectomy and chemotherapy might lead to a significant survival benefit. Here we report a case of long-term survival in a patient with AIDS and multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD) complicated by PL.
