 AB    PURPOSE: To determine the clinical, pathologic, and radiologic features
       in pediatric patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
       (AIDS)-related lymphoma and to compare these features with those in
       adult patients with AIDS-related lymphoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS:
       Clinical and radiologic findings were retrospectively reviewed in nine
       children (aged 1-15 years) with AIDS-related lymphoma. All patients had
       neoplastic changes that were not consistent with hyperplastic lymphoid
       tissue. The children underwent ultrasonography, computed tomography,
       magnetic resonance imaging, and plain radiography. RESULTS: Sites of
       involvement by malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma at diagnosis were the
       liver (n = 7), spleen (n = 5), kidney (n = 4), central nervous system (n
       = 2), and testis and bone (n = 1). Symptoms included seizures,
       respiratory distress, testicular swelling, and increased abdominal
       girth. CONCLUSION: Children with AIDS-related lymphoma have symptoms
       distinct from those found in adults, but clinical, radiologic, and
       pathologic findings show that almost any anatomic site in these children
       can be involved.
