HIV-associated Hematological Malignancies

Abstract

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an extra-nodal form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) that is confined to the cranio-spinal axis without systemic involvement. PCNSL occurs in both immunocompetent and immunodeficient individuals, and the two groups share some features but differ in biology, clinical management and outcomes.
