 AB    High grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma accounts for only 5%-10% of all
       non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus
       increases the risk of developing high grade, usually B-cell, lymphoma,
       which has been noted to occur more commonly in homosexual men. These
       lymphomas often have unusual clinical presentations. We report five
       cases of high grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in HIV negative homosexual
       men who presented to our hospital in a 13-month period. As a major
       centre for the treatment of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome,
       there may be a self-selected homosexual population attending for medical
       care, and thus a bias in the relative incidence of lymphoma seen in this
       group.
