Abstract

Many tumors are associated with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), such as Kaposi sarcoma, Burkitt’s lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and smooth muscle tumor. This paper describes the EpsteinBarr virus (EBV)-associated smooth muscle tumor (EBV-SMT) in patient with AIDS, clinically mimicking schwannoma. So, EBV-SMT should be included in the differential diagnosis for a mesenchymal tumor arising in any organs in AIDS patients.
