Epstein-Barr VirusAssociated Smooth Muscle Tumor in a Person With AIDS
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Several reports have documented an increased incidence of smooth muscle tumors in patients with AIDS and in those with other immunocompromised conditions.1-3 The literature suggests there is an association between the presence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and these rare tumors.1-4 Smooth muscle tumors occur much less frequently in adults with AIDS than in children with AIDS. We report the case of a 40-year-old HIV-infected Thai woman who presented with right-sided temporal headache, right-sided pleuritic chest pain, low back pain, low-grade fever, and weight loss of 2 kg (4.4 lb) over 3 months.

متن کاملTHE IN VITRO GROWTH PROPERTIES OF CELL LINES FROM EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS-INDUCED TAMARIN TUMORS AND TAMARIN B CELLS TR ANSFORMED BY EPSTEIN BARR VIRUS
EBV-carrying human cell lines, depending on whether the cells are derived from Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) tumor biopsies or transformed by EBV in vitro, have different growth properties in vitro. In contrast, there are no clear differences between tamarin tumor lines and tamarin LCLs in vitro. Both types of tamarin cell lines could grow in agarose and formed colonies unlike human LCLs, althoug...
متن کاملEndobronchial leiomyoma: an unusual non-defining neoplasm in a patient with AIDS.
Smooth muscle neoplasms are more frequent in human immunodeficiency infected children than in HIV seropositive adults. Endobronchial leiomyoma is a rare benign tumor in HIV infected adult patients. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of these tumors. Here we describe an adult patient with HIV infection with atelectasis of the left upper pulmonary lobe as the first c...
متن کاملEvolution of AIDS and AIDS related malignancies in pediatric patients in the United States.
The pediatric AIDS epidemic began in the U.S.A. between 1983 and 1985. Hemophilia patients were among the first victims of this disease with the majority of these patients infected prior to 1984. At the South Texas Hemophilia Center 69 of 108 patients less than 21 years of age demonstrated serologic evidence of infection. Of these patients, 6 subsequently developed malignancies between 1987 and...
