Abstract: HIV/AIDS related lymphoma (ARL) are a group of heterogeneity of neoplasms, and they have poor prognosis. The factors of pathogenesis elucidated in recent years include immune injury caused by HIV, EB virus infection and genetic changes. There are four pathological types of ARL, including diffuse large B cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, plasmablastic lymphoma and primary effusion lymphoma. Morphological characteristics, immunophenotype markers and clinical data should be combined to make diagnosis and differential diagnosis, which will facilitate timely treatment and improve prognosis.
