FOLLICULAR LYMPHOMA- rare case presentation in hiv
DIAGNOSIS
• HIV associated Lymphoma ( Follicular lymphoma)
• PTB relapse on ATT
• PLWHA on ART
TREATMENT GIVEN
• DIL
• Vitals monitoring
• Inj. 25 % D IVTDS
• IVF 2 unit NS @ 50ml/hr
• Inj. Piperazallin tazobactum 4.5gms IV TDS
• Inj.Thiamine 200mg IV OD
• ART – TLD regimen
DISCUSSION
• Follicular lymhoma is the second most frequent subtype
of nodal lymphoid malignancies in western Europe
• The annual incidence of this disease has rapidly
increased during the recent decades
• It is a neoplasm of follicle center B cell that is
composed of mixture of centrocytes and centroblasts
ETIOLOGY
• Genetics – chromosomal translocation
• Viruses – EBV, HTLT I, HHV 8
• Immunodeficiency state :
• Congential
• Acquired – HIV , Immunosuppresant drugs
PATHOGENESIS
• Follicular lymphoma is thought to arise from
germinal center B cells
• The pathogenesis of FL is incompletely
understood
• Approximately 85% of FL have t(14; 18), an
oncogene that blocks apoptosis, leading to
prolonged cell survival

CLINICAL PRESENTATION
• New painless lymphadenopathy
• Non tender, firm, rubbery in consisitency
• Mostly involves retroauricular, cervical, supraclavicular, axillary, inguinal, popliteal rarely
epitrochlear nodes
• Extranodal sites includes spleen, liver, bone marrow
• B symptoms – Fever > 38, night sweats, weight loss
• Anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia due to BM suppression
GRADING
• WHO morphological grading
• Grade I - < 5 centroblasts/ HPF
• Grade II – 6 to 15 centroblasts/HPF
• Grade III - > 15 centroblasts/HPF
• IIIa centrocyte still present
• IIIb fully contains centroblasts
STAGING OF LYMPHOMA
