Abstract
KSHV/HHV 8 infection is associated with primary effusion lymphoma, multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) and MCD-associated plasmablastic lymphoma. We report the case of an HIV-infected male with Kaposi sarcoma, MCD in the lymph node and development of a KSHV/HHV 8-associated plasmablastic lymphoma in the liver. Immunohistochemistry revealed an HHV 8 infection of plasmablasts showing cytoplasmic IgM/lambda expression. To the best of our knowledge, liver infiltration by a MCD-associated HHV 8 positive plasmablastic lymphoma has not been documented previously. The differential diagnosis is discussed.Entities:
