 AB    There is evidence that, in addition to Kaposi's sarcoma, high-grade
       non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and invasive cervical carcinoma (the only
       malignancies diagnostic per se of AIDS), other tumors have been
       occurring in the HIV setting, often with peculiar clinicopathologic
       characteristics. Because the survival of patients with HIV infection has
       improved owing to the better prevention and management of opportunistic
       infections, it is highly likely that these malignancies will increase in
       the next few years. The study of these tumors will help us better
       understand the relationship between the prolonged immunosuppression and
       the development of tumors.
