AIDS defining malignancies
HIV-associated neoplasms are numerous and can be broadly divided into two groups:
- AIDS-defining malignancies
- associated but not AIDS defining malignancies
AIDS-defining malignancies
The development of these malignancies in HIV affected individuals generally implies progression to AIDS :
- Kaposi sarcoma: most common
- non Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL): second most common
- several types of B-cell non Hodgkin's lymphoma are AIDS-defining malignancies, including
- few rare types of non Hodgkin's lymphoma are more common in HIV-infected patients such as
- primary effusion lymphoma
- plasmablastic lymphoma
- multicentric Castleman disease
- cervical carcinoma
Associated but not AIDS-defining malignancies
These may be HIV-associated but development does not necessarily imply progression to AIDS:
- bronchogenic carcinoma
- colorectal cancer
- testicular cancer
- Hodgkin disease
- cutaneous malignancies
