Abstract Background B-cell tumors and plasma cell malignancies have been identified in persons living with the human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV). The literature review has revealed numerous reports of solitary plasmacytomas with metastasis in PLHIV. Case report A young patient with no prior medical or surgical history presented with tumor lysis syndrome secondary to metastatic plasma cell Epstein-Baer virus (EBV) related malignancy with peritoneal carcinomatosis. The history and clinical picture promptly led to the diagnosis of HIV. The subsequent hospital course was dismal, and lifespan was cut short by multi-organ failure. Conclusion This case is being reported to highlight the suspicion of HIV in patients presenting acutely with aggressive plasma cell malignancies.

Abstract A 50-year-old man was admitted to intensive care unit because of acute respiratory failure due interstitial pneumonia; after admission, a diagnosis of acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection was made. Clinical and radiological improvement was observed only after introduction of antiretroviral treatment. We discuss the hypothesis of interstitial pneumonia induced by the acute HIV-1 infection.
