    abstract = "Primary soft tissue non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) are very rare especially
among HIV-1 infected patients. We describe a patient with HIV-1
infection who presented with acute pain of the right proximal femur. The
clinical and laboratory investigation revealed a high grade
centroblastic B-cell lymphoma of soft tissue. The patient was treated by
surgical resection of the tumor, chemotherapy and local radiotherapy
with no serious side effects. After 36 months of follow up he is in
excellent clinical condition, with his lymphoma in complete remission."
