Abstract

Primary effusion lymphoma is a rare tumor of B‐cell derivation which is associated with human herpes virus type 8 (HHV‐8) in 100% and with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in most of cases. The paper describes the first case in Russia of HIV^−^ HHV‐8^+^ Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)^+^ primary effusion lymphoma in a male patient aged 56 years. The tumor was located in the pleural cavity. Interestingly, the patient was HIV‐negative while having a positive tumor HHV‐8 test. There are only 22 similar cases described worldwide. J. Med. Virol. 79:270–277, 2007. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a novel lymphoproliferative disorder associated with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection. Most PELs develop in HIV-seropositive individuals and are nearly always positive for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a finding which obscures the role of HHV-8 in lymphomagenesis.

## Abstract Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare KSHV/HHV8‐associated high‐grade non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of B‐cell origin, characterized by serous effusions in body cavities. Most patients are HIV‐infected homosexual men with severe immunosuppression and other KSHV/HHV8‐associated disease
