Abstract
A case of intracerebral malignant B cell lymphoma associated with encephalitis typical of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection is described in a 4 year old child, with post-transfusion Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and severe pre-existing cystic encephalomalacia. This report further documents B cell lymphoma as the commonest cause of an intracerebral mass, and an important cause of death in paediatric AIDS. That more than one pathological process may be responsible for neurological symptoms in paediatric AIDS is also emphasised.Entities:
