Purpose Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare high-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus/human herpesvirus 8 (KSHV/HHV-8) infection, and is mostly observed in the course of HIV infection, The prognosis is poor, with reported median survival time shorter than 6 months. To date, no prognostic factor has been identified in this subset of lymphoma.Patients and Methods We describe here a large series of HIV-infected patients with PEL, including 28 cases diagnosed in six centers during an 11-year time period, Prognosis analysis was performed using a Cox proportional hazard regression model. Statistically significant covariates were further analyzed in a forward, stepwise multivariate model.Results After a median follow-up of 3.8 years (range, 10 months to 10,8 years), nine patients (32%) were still alive, and eight of them remained progression free. The median survival was 6,2 months, and the 1-year overall survival rate was 39.3%. Fourteen patients (50%) achieved complete remission, with a 1-year disease-free survival rate at 78.6%, In a multivariate analysis, only a performance status more than 2 (hazard ratio, 5,84; 95% CI, 1.76 to 19,33) and the absence of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) before PEL diagnosis (hazard ratio, 3.26; 95% CI, 1.14 to 9.34) were found to be independent predictors for shorter survival.Conclusion Based on a retrospective series of 28 patients, two prognostic factors were identified as being independently associated with impaired clinical outcome in HIV-related PEL-(1) a poor performance status and (2) the absence of HAART before PEL diagnosis.
