Abstract
A case of pure non-epidermotropic cutaneous lymphoma in a human immuno deficiency virus-infected patient is reported following a viral opport unistic infection [cytomegalovirus (CMV) hepatitis]. The lymphoid infi ltrate was Epstein-Barr virus and CMV negative with a CD30-positive T- cell phenotype. Molecular analysis demonstrated T cell receptor gene r earrangement, but a nonaggressive disease course was noted supporting a cautious therapeutic approach in this case.
