Mucocutaneous Manifestations of HIV/AIDS

Abstract

AIDS patients have a high incidence and mortality risk of tumors. AIDS-associated malignant tumors include AIDS-defining malignancies and non-AIDS-defining malignancies. AIDS-defining malignancies include non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma, and cervical cancer. Non-AIDS-defining malignancies are composed of cancers of lung, liver, anal, skin and colorectal cancer or Hodgkin lymphoma. This chapter consists of a large number of cases on neoplastic diseases in HIV/AIDS patients, including Kaposi’s sarcoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt’s lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma, plasmablastic lymphoma, NK/T cell lymphoma, cervical cancer, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, adult fibrosarcoma, and malignant pleomorphic adenoma.
