Abstract
A review of all cases of adenopathy in HIV patients has been made. A statistically significant relationship between HIV infection and tumors such as Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas and Kaposi's sarcoma has been verified. Indications to lymphogland biopsy proposed by Abrams in 1986 have been used in order to make a differential diagnosis so as to avoid an unnecessary biopsy in patients with immunodeficiency. Six out of thirteen patients who underwent biopsy show both pathologies.
