Cancers in Children Infected With the Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Abstract: The AIDS epidemic continues unabated in Africa, Asia, and South America, and since patients survive longer, the number of chronically immunocompromised individuals is increasing in Europe and the United States. The number of children with HIV infection who will ultimately develop a malignancy is not known. Currently, tumors represent about 2% of the AIDS‐defining events in children in the United States, but the incidence might be different in developing countries. The most common tumors in HIV‐infected childre… Show more

“…As happens for HIV-infected adults [60], HIV-infected children show a higher frequency of malignancies compared to the general population [45,[61][62][63][64][65]. In the pre-ART era, the risk of malignancy occurrence was mainly linked to the immunological dysfunction per se and lack of adaptive immune response against oncogenic viruses.…”

“…11 Dentre os linfomas, a maioria dos casos relatados é constituída de linfoma de células B de alto grau, freqüentemente LNH de grandes células difusas com envolvimento extranodal. 12 Linfomas de Burkitt, LNH de célula T periférica e linfoma de Hodgkin são raros. 5,10,11 Entretanto, como poucos estudos têm empregado imunohistoquímica, biologia molecular ou citogenética, a freqüência dos diversos tipos histológicos não pode ainda ser definida com certeza.…”

“…Como conseqüência, as neoplasias em crianças com HIV têm-se tornado um problema comum. 12 Além disso, com o aumento dos transplantes de órgãos sólidos e o uso de imunossupressores mais potentes, ocorre um maior risco de DLP nesse grupo de pacientes. Desse modo, é importante o seguimento desses pacientes a longo prazo para determinar os fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento de neoplasias, conhecer a história natural, o quadro clínico e os subtipos patológicos das DLP nos pacientes imunossuprimidos.…”

“…For example, Kaposi sarcoma, very rare in children, is seen in 3% of North American HIV positive adolescents and 9% of adults between 20 and 24 years of age. Smooth muscle tumours occur as part of the AIDS malignancy spectrum of childhood but are very uncommon in HIV positive adults [30][31][32][33][34] . In the current study, 13 out of 91 (14.3%) patients were found to have malignancies on FNA.…”
