Abstract
We report a case of an elderly male who presented with enlarged abdominal lymph nodes and was diagnosed as having Epstein-Barr virus-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (EBV+ DLBCL, NOS). He was started on chemotherapy which had to be discontinued after three cycles due to the development of life-threatening pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and poor performance status. Within two years, the patient presented with features of relapse. A repeat histopathological examination of the lymph node showed features of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, NOS and the clonality was confirmed by T-cell receptor gamma chain rearrangement assay. More studies are needed to understand the association of EBV+ DLBCL, NOS with other lymphomas.
