ABSTRACT
Primary esophageal lymphomas are extremely rare. We report a primary esophageal T cell lymphoma of a diffuse large cell phenotype B in a patient with AIDS. Also we reviewed other published cases. The diagnosis of this complication should be considered in HIV seropositive patients with progressive displagia and endoscopic findings of masses, polyps or ulcerations and, specially in those unresponsive to antifungal or antiviral therapy. Biopsy and histopathologic studies are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
