摘要: AbstractBackground: Despite the rampant human immunodeficiency (HIV) epidemic in Africa, there is a paucity of published data HIV-related Epstein-Barr virus-associated smooth muscle tumours (EBV-SMT) from Africa.Methods: We embarked on retrospective documentation clinicopathological features confirmed EBV-SMT over 5-year time frame at largest hospital Africa. All haematoxylin and eosin stained tissue sections, immunohistochemistry EBV situ hybridisation (ISH) investigations were reviewed conjunction with clinical data.Results: Fourteen (n = 14) 13 patients (age range: 10–53 years). Five paediatric predominance females (70%) evident this series. HIV seropositive CD4 counts ranged 1 to 1331 cells/ul (median 355 cells/ul; mean 442 cells/ul). Tumour-associated pain was common symptom age group, while neurological symptoms frequent adults due paraspinal c...
