Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare lymphoid neoplasm frequently presenting in the oral cavity. It is an aggressive type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that shares pathological features with plasma cell myeloma. In addition to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), it is also associated with Epstein-Bar virus (EBV) and immunosuppression in HIV-negative patients, for example, post transplantation. Extra-oral PBL is rare and only a few case reports involving the testis have been described. Here we describe the first reported case of PBL presenting with a scrotal abscess (not involving the testes) in a patient newly diagnosed with HIV. This case highlights the rare presentation of a rare disease, the difficulties in establishing a diagnosis and the importance of a timely multidisciplinary approach to its management. |
