PG - 725342 LID - 10.3389/fcimb.2022.725342 [doi] LID - 725342 AB - Epstein-Barr virus-associated smooth muscle tumor (EBV-SMT) is a rare tumor found in immunocompromised patients, and its treatment is not well-established. A role for antiretroviral therapy in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related EBV-SMT has been proposed; however, the relevance of tumor size, CD4 levels, and immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) has not been previously reported. We present the first case, to our knowledge, of a tumor that shrank in association with elevated CD4 counts. IRIS occurred in this case following antiretroviral therapy. This finding highlights the importance of the immune response in HIV-related EBV-SMT. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Chong, Lu, Ma, Yin and Chang.
