HIV-negative plasmablastic lymphoma: report of 8 cases and a comprehensive review of 394 published cases.

Conclusion: HIV-negative PBL is a distinct entity with a predilection for elderly and immunosuppressed individuals. Intensive chemotherapy had no apparent survival benefits over the CHOP regimen in terms of OS; the prognosis of this disease is poor with current chemotherapy methods, and treatment remains a challenge.
