Abstract: Approximately 25% of patients infected with HIV will develop malignancies, most commonly Kaposi's sarcoma and non-Hodgin's lymphoma. These tumors can involve the lung, causing significant morbidity and mortality. This article discusses the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of the pulmonary complications of the malignancies associated with HIV infection.
