  • Abstract
    Th is study describes a rare case of Human Immunodefi ciency Virus and Human Herpes Virus 8 (HHV-8) negative primary eff usion lymphoma (PEL)-like lymphoma in a patient with hepatitis B virus-related liver cirrhosis, diagnosed in a 66-year-old male who rapidly progressed to a sense of abdominal fullness. Cytological analysis of the pleural eff usion demonstrated large atypical lymphoid cells with rounded nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and abundant cytoplasm. Immunocytochemistry of the pleural eff usion detected atypical CD20+ lymphoid cells. Th e patient was hospitalized, and died following sepsis and multi-organ failure. Our case highlights that HHV-8-unrelated PEL-like lymphoma patients have diff erent pathogenetic mechanisms of causality at the biological level, immunophenotype, clinical behavior, and prognosis.
