Abstract
- In children with underlying Human Immunodeficiency virus infection and AIDS, hematolymphoid cancers, especially non-hodgkin lymphomas are common. Plasmablastic lymphoma is one such non-hodgkin lymphomas arising from the head and neck region (especially sinonasal) but extremely rare. We describe the clinical course in a 4-year-old boy who presented with a solitary bony swelling of the right knee joint, which on diagnostic work-up turned out to be plasmablastic lymphoma. With combination chemotherapy, intrathecal chemotherapy, and early institution ofHighly active anti-retroviral therapy, the child continues to be in remission.
