 AB    The purpose of this report is to describe an association between
       bronchogenic carcinoma and HIV. Three HIV-seropositive patients are
       described who developed bronchogenic cancer (two large cell, one
       adenocarcinoma) before developing an AIDS-defining illness. A critical
       review of the literature revealed 22 other patients in which the
       association of HIV infection and lung cancer is reported. These patients
       are characterized by a relatively young age at diagnosis (median, 43
       years) and prevalence of the adenocarcinoma subtype (13 of 25 patients).
       Twenty of 21 patients had a history of smoking. Among 21 patients for
       whom data were available, 6 patients (28 percent) had AIDS at time of
       diagnosis of lung cancer while 11 patients (55 percent) did not have
       AIDS or AIDS-related complex at diagnosis.
