Distinct Subsets of Primary Effusion Lymphoma Can Be Identified Based on Their Cellular Gene Expression Profile and Viral Association

Abstract excerpt

Primary effusion lymphomas (PELs) are specifically associated with Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infection and most frequently occur in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive individuals as lymphomatous effusions in the serous cavities without a detectable solid tumor mass. Most PELs have concomitant Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, suggesting that EBV is an important pathogenetic...
