Abstract EN
Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) and plasmablastic plasma cell myeloma (PCM) have many overlapping characteristics.
Clinical correlation can help make the distinction between the two entities.
Human immunodeficiency virus- (HIV-) negative PBL is a rare disease, making the diagnosis more challenging.
While there is no standard of care for PBL, current recommendations include dose-adjusted EPOCH (etoposide, vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and prednisone), with or without bortezomib.
We report an aggressive case of HIV-negative plasmablastic lymphoma and discuss the challenge in establishing a diagnosis.
We review the literature regarding this disease and current recommendations for treatment.
