KHOSRAVI SHAHI, P.; SABIN DOMINGUEZ, P. e PEREZ MANGA, G.. Primary effusion lymphoma. An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2006, vol.23, n.9, pp.438-440. ISSN 0212-7199.
Primary effusion lymphoma is a rare high-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection, and is mostly observed in the course of HIV infection (AIDS). The prognosis is poor, with reported median survival time shorter than 6 months. We present a case of a 65-year-old man, with prior unknown origin chronic hepatopathy, chronic hemolytic anaemia, and ascitis. El biopsy of peritoneum showed a primary effusion lymphoma. The patient died two month later.
