==Overview==
==Overview==
Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is rare subtype of [[diffuse large B-cell lymphoma]] (DLBCL). Primary effusion lymphoma is a very fast-growing (aggressive) lymphoma usually confined to pleural, pericardial, peritoneal body cavities, presenting as serous effusions without detectable tumor masses, occurring primarily but not exclusively in HIV-infected patients. Lymphoma cells are found in the fluid in these body cavities. Primary effusion lymphoma is associated with [[human herpes virus 8]] (HHV8) infection and Epstein-Barr virus ([[EBV]]) infection. On microscopic histopathological analysis, neoplastic proliferation of large lymphoid cells with round to irregular nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and varying amounts of vacuolated cytoplasm are characteristic findings of primary effusion lymphoma. Primary effusion lymphoma is more commonly observed among young or middle aged patients. Males are more commonly affected with primary effusion lymphoma than females. Symptoms of primary effusion lymphoma may include [[fever]], [[fatigue]], [[weight loss]], [[night sweats]], painless swellings in the neck, axilla, groin, thorax, and abdomen, chest pain, abdomen pain, bones pain, and skin rash. A [[lymph node biopsy]] is diagnostic of primary effusion lymphoma. The mainstay of therapy for primary effusion lymphoma is [[chemotherapy]] and [[antiretroviral therapy]].

==Historical Perspective==
* The association between [[AIDS]], [[Epstein Barr virus|Epstein-Barr virus]] ([[Epstein Barr virus|EBV]]) and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) was described in 1989 by DM Knowles and his group.<ref name="pmid2537119">{{cite journal |vauthors=Knowles DM, Inghirami G, Ubriaco A, Dalla-Favera R |title=Molecular genetic analysis of three AIDS-associated neoplasms of uncertain lineage demonstrates their B-cell derivation and the possible pathogenetic role of the Epstein-Barr virus |journal=Blood |volume=73 |issue=3 |pages=792–9 |date=February 1989 |pmid=2537119 |doi= |url=}}</ref>

==Risk Factors==
*There are no established risk factors for primary effusion lymphoma.


== Natural History, Complications and Prognosis==
The most potent [[risk factor]] in the development of primary effusion lymphoma is [[human]] [[herpes virus]] (HHV) [[infection]]. Other risk factors include [[Epstein Barr virus|Epstein-Barr virus]] ([[Epstein Barr virus|EBV]]) [[infection]], immunodeficient patients, and  [[HHV-8]] infection.
* Primary effusion lymphoma is a very fast-growing (aggressive) lymphoma usually confined to pleural, pericardial, peritoneal body cavities, presenting as serous effusions without detectable tumor masses, occurring primarily but not exclusively in HIV-infected patients.  
 
* Prognosis is generally poor.

Overview

Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is rare sub-type of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Primary effusion lymphoma is a very fast-growing (aggressive) lymphoma usually confined to pleural, pericardial, peritoneal body cavities, presenting as serous effusions without detectable tumor masses. It occurs primarily, but not exclusively, in HIV-infected patients. Lymphoma cells are found in the fluid in these body cavities. Primary effusion lymphoma is associated with human herpes virus 8 (HHV8) infection and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. On microscopic histopathological analysis, neoplastic proliferation of large lymphoid cells with round to irregular nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and varying amounts of vacuolated cytoplasm are characteristic findings of primary effusion lymphoma. Primary effusion lymphoma is more commonly observed among young or middle-aged patients and males are more commonly affected with PEL than females. Symptoms may include fever, fatigue, weight loss, night sweats, painless swellings in the neck, axilla, groin, thorax, abdomen, chest pain, abdomen pain, bone pain, and skin rash. A lymph node biopsy is generally used in diagnosis of primary effusion lymphoma and the mainstay of therapy for primary effusion lymphoma is chemotherapy and antiretroviral therapy.

Historical Perspective

  • The association between AIDS, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) was described in 1989 by DM Knowles and his group.[1]
  • In 1995, Cesarman et al was the first scientist to identify the association between KSHV DNA sequences within a distinct sub-type of AIDS and the development of primary effusion lymphoma (PEL).[2]
  • Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) was designated by Nador et al that is associated with HHV-8/KSHV, in1996.[3]

Classification

There is no established system for the classification of primary effusion lymphoma.

Pathophysiology

Causes

Differentiating primary effusion lymphoma from other Diseases

  • Primary effusion lymphoma must be differentiated from other diseases such as:[11][12]

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • Primary effusion lymphoma is usually diagnosed among HIV infection. [13]
  • Primary effusion lymphoma usually has same age and race of HIV patients.[13]

There is no racial predilection to Primary effusion lymphoma.

Incidence

  • The prevalence of primary effusion lymphoma is unknown.

Age

  • Primary effusion lymphoma is more commonly observed among young or middle-aged patients.[11][14]

Gender

  • Males are more commonly affected with primary effusion lymphoma than female (6:1).[11][14]

Risk Factors

The most potent risk factor in the development of primary effusion lymphoma is human herpes virus (HHV) infection. Other risk factors include Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, immunodeficient patients, and HHV-8 infection.

Less common risk factors in the development of primary effusion lymphoma include:[11][15][16][17]

Screening

There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for primary effusion lymphoma.

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Diagnosis

Diagnostic Study of Choice

There are no established criteria for the diagnosis of Primary effusion lymphoma.

Staging

Staging for primary effusion lymphoma is provided in the following table:[22]

Revised staging system for primary nodal lymphomas (Lugano classification)
Stage Involvement Extranodal (E) status
Limited
Stage I One node or a group of adjacent nodes Single extranodal lesions without nodal involvement
Stage II Two or more nodal groups on the same side of the diaphragm Stage I or II by nodal extent with limited contiguous extranodal involvement
Stage II bulky II as above with "bulky" disease Not applicable
Advanced
Stage III Nodes on both sides of the diaphragm; nodes above the diaphragm with spleen involvement Not applicable
Stage IV Additional noncontiguous extralymphatic involvement Not applicable

History and Symptoms

  • Symptoms of primary effusion lymphoma may include the following:[11][14][23]

Physical Examination

Laboratory Findings

  • There are no specific laboratory findings associated with primary effusion lymphoma.
  • PEL cells typically express a hematolymphoid marker, CD45.[11][24][25][20]

Electrocardiogram

There are no ECG findings associated with Primary effusion lymphoma.

X-ray

There are no x-ray findings associated with Primary effusion lymphoma.

Echocardiography or Ultrasound

There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with Primary effusion lymphoma.

CT scan

There are no CT scan findings associated with Primary effusion lymphoma.

MRI

There are no MRI findings associated with Primary effusion lymphoma.

Other Imaging Findings

  • There are no specific imaging study associated with primary effusion lymphoma.
  • CT, MRI, and PET scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of primary effusion lymphoma.[27]

Other Diagnostic Studies

Treatment

Medical Therapy

Surgery

Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of primary effusion lymphoma.

Primary Prevention

There are no established measures for the primary prevention of primary effusion lymphoma.

Secondary Prevention

There are no established measures for the secondary prevention of primary effusion lymphoma.
