The authors present a case of small bowel primitive lymphoma found in a 66-years-old female. After having briefly reviewed the literature they direct their attention to the clinical-instrumental diagnostic difficulties of this neoplasm which is often discovered only when it has already invaded various organs. Therefore surgical therapy is not always radical. This fact in addition to the fatally rapid postoperative course led the authors to discuss the problems involved in a correct treatment of this pathology.

Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is an HIV-associated B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) caused by Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV). There is no validated prognostic model in PEL, and prognosis is thought to be poor compared to other HIV-associated NHL. We derived the PEL-Prognostic score (PEL-PS) from an international real-world training set of 59 patients with HIV-associated PEL who received first-line anthracycline-containing chemotherapy from the HIV and AIDS Malignancy Branch at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in the United States and the National Center for HIV Malignancy at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital (CWH) in England from 2000 to 2022.
