We report an unusual case of a 39-year-old male patient with a previous history of treated classical Hodgkin lymphoma, presenting with tongue ulcer and left ear pain who was subsequently diagnosed with invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx. This case highlights the importance of vigilance in patients with a history of lymphoma and the potential for the development of secondary malignancies.

Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare and aggressive B-cell lymphoma typically associated with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) and Epstein-Barr virus infections.

This case report describes an unusual presentation of primary cutaneous extracavitary PEL in an HIV-positive patient that has only been reported in 8 cases previously.
