Primary effusion lymphoma is a distinct clinicopathologic entity usually characterized by presentation as a lymphomatous body cavity effusion in the absence of a solid tumor mass or dissemination during its clinical course. This lymphoma is typically present in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients and frequently associated with Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus/human herpesvirus 8 (KSHV/HHV8) viral sequences. Here we report a rare case of KSHV/HHV8-associated primary effusion lymphoma with secondary involvement of the small bowel as an obstructive tumor mass in an HIV-infected man. The solid small bowel lymphoma demonstrated essentially identical morphology, immunophenotype, KSHV/HHV8 viral status, and immunoglobulin light chain rearrangements to the pleural cavity-based primary effusion lymphoma in the same patient.
