| Abstract: | Background. Zidovudine is a thymidine analogue that has been reported to have antiviral and antineoplastic activity in vitro. Methods. The case of a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and a pulmonary non‐Hodgkin lymphoma treated with zidovudine and no other treatment is presented. Results. The patient achieved a prolonged partial remission of a pulmonary non‐Hodgkin lymphoma while receiving zidovudine alone. Conclusions. Zidovudine may have antitumor effects in AIDS‐related lymphomas and should be evaluated for its antitumor potential. Copyright © 1993 American Cancer Society |
