Linfoma da cavidade oral como neoplasia secundária determinante da AIDS em um paciente com HAART e reconstituição imune

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Lymphomas of the oral cavity are a rare complication of advanced HIV/AIDS disease. The clinical appearance of these neoplasms includes masses or ulcerative lesions that involve the oral soft tissue and the jaw as the predominant manifestation. We report the case of a patient with AIDS who developed diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma of the oral cavity during highly active antiretroviral therapy, with undetectable plasma viral load and immune reconstitution.
