Background: Primary lymphomatous effusion is a rare lymphoma that arises in the body cavity and has a peculiar proliferative form, lacking a tumor. This primary lymphomatous effusion includes human herpes virus 8 (HHV8)-related primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) and HHV8-unrelated PEL-like lymphoma. We attempted to clarify the nature of the primary lymphomatous effusion. Methods: Using ‘PEL’ and ‘body cavity-based lymphoma’ (BCBL) as key words, reports written in English were collected from PubMed. Primary lymphomatous effusion was defined as BCBL with primary effusion and without tumor at onset. Adding our 2 PEL-like lymphoma cases, each case was studied as to the patients’ and lymphomas’ characteristics, therapy and survival time. Moreover, each item was compared among four groups according to the presence of HHV8 and HIV. Results: In 214 cases investigated, there was no difference in proliferation, but an apparent difference in age, gender, phenotype, effectiveness and prognosis among the four groups. Conclusions: Both PEL and PEL-like lymphoma are thought to be characterized by a peculiar proliferation, regardless of the presence of HHV8. Dividing PEL or PEL-like lymphoma into two subgroups on the basis of HIV presentation might also be appropriate.

Human herpesvirus 8, also known as Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, is etiologically associated with Kaposi sarcoma and other rare malignancies. Human herpesvirus 8 infection is common in certain areas of Africa and Italy, but occurs in only 0% to 15% of adult populations in North America and Europe. Reports of human herpesvirus 8 prevalence of 3% to over 50% among children in Central Africa, Brazil, and South Texas suggest that horizontal transmission of human herpesvirus 8 occurs among children. Primary human herpesvirus 8 infection in immunocompetent children is associated with a fever and maculopapular rash.
