PLASMABLASTIC LYMPHOMA PRESENTING AS MULTIPLE FISTULAE IN -ANO IN IMMUNOCOMPETENT PATIENT A RARE CASE REPORT
Abstract
Abstract : Plasmablastic lymphoma is an aggressive
non-Hodgkin lymphoma classically occurring in individuals
infected with HIV. Plasmablastic lymphoma has a predilection
for oral cavity and jaw. However, recent case reports have
shown lymphoma in stomach, lung, nasal cavity, cervical
lymph nodes and jejunum in HIV negative individuals. We
report what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of
plasmablastic lymphoma occurring in the ano-rectal junction
of an HIV-negative man.
