J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1996 May-Jun;20(3):468-70. doi: 10.1097/00004728-199605000-00029.

Abstract

It is well known that acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is associated with increased risk of neoplasms, particularly Kaposi sarcoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. There have been several recent reports in the literature describing plasma cell tumors in AIDS patients. We report the imaging findings in a case of widely disseminated plasmacytoma in a patient with known AIDS.
