An increased incidence of undifferentiated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has also been reported in the population at risk for the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (5, 6). An illness characterized by fever, weight loss, and generalized lymphadenopathy is a common precursor to the development of Kaposi's sarcoma, opportunistic infection, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (7).We present the first report of a plasma-cell tumor in a patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
