In this case series, we present the clinical features of three HIV-positive patients presenting with facial nerve palsies due to HIV-associated Burkitt's lymphoma. These patients had a non-resolving facial paralysis, which occurred during a late stage of HIV. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) did not show leptomeningeal enhancement. Cerebrospinal fluid revealed a lymphocytosis with elevated protein and low glucose levels. The diagnosis of Burkitt's lymphoma was made on histology which showed the characteristic \u2018starry sky\u2019 appearance due to scattered tangible body-laden macrophages. The patients were commenced on the intensive chemotherapy regimen of CODOX-M\/IVAC. Two patients died of disease progression and the third patient died of chemotherapy toxicity. This case series highlights the need for a high index of suspicion for underlying malignancy when a patient presents with a persistent facial paralysis in the later stages of HIV infection. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/ijsa.2010.010293","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,3,22]],"date-time":"2011-03-22T22:46:55Z","timestamp":1300834015000},"page":"112-114","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Burkitt's non-Hodgkins lymphoma presenting as facial nerve palsy in HIV-positive patients"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"H","family":"Woodcock","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, St Stephen's Centre, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Nelson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, St Stephen's Centre, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr-IJSA-10-293C1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00314900"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-10-293C2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S1413-86702002000100008"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-10-293C3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jnci\/92.22.1823"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-10-293C4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0215(19991112)83:4<481::AID-IJC8>3.0.CO;2-5"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-10-293C5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.1998.16.12.3788"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-10-293C6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0889-8588(03)00050-9"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-10-293C7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/annonc\/mdf253"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-10-293C8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.1991.9.6.941"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-10-293C9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/blood.V85.3.664.bloodjournal853664"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-10-293C10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0889-8588(18)30445-3"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-10-293C11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(195801\/02)11:1<76::AID-CNCR2820110116>3.0.CO;2-D"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-10-293C12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(19800201)45:3<545::AID-CNCR2820450322>3.0.CO;2-6"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-10-293C13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.2005.11.973"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-10-293C14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cncr.11628"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-10-293C15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/QAD.0b013e3283301578"}],"container-title":["International Journal of STD &amp; AIDS"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/ijsa.2010.010293","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1258\/ijsa.2010.010293","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/ijsa.2010.010293","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,1]],"date-time":"2025-03-01T03:56:12Z","timestamp":1740801372000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1258\/ijsa.2010.010293"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011,2]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2011,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1258\/ijsa.2010.010293"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1258\/ijsa.2010.010293","relation":{},"ISSN":["0956-4624","1758-1052"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0956-4624","type":"print"},{"value":"1758-1052","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011,2]]}}}
