B-cell lymphomas are the common neoplasms that occur, and Oral Plasmablastic lymphoma is one of its types. It is categorized as a large B-cell lymphoma and an aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. These are rare tumours that histologically resemble other lymphomas, like Burkitt lymphoma, causing a diagnostic dilemma for pathologists. Here we report a rare case of Oral Plasmablastic lymphoma in a 32-year-old HIV-positive male with tuberculosis infection. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to confirm the diagnosis, and the markers used for differentiating various lymphomas have been discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jomfp.jomfp_157_25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,28]],"date-time":"2025-11-28T10:00:38Z","timestamp":1764324038000},"page":"S15-S18","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Challenges in delineating B-cell lymphoma: A case of plasmablastic lymphoma mimicking Burkitt lymphoma"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Kundendu Arya","family":"Bishen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Government College of Dentistry, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sakshi","family":"Arora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Government College of Dentistry, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shweta","family":"Rehani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Sudha Rustagi College of Dental Sciences and Research, Faridabad, Haryana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Madhvika","family":"Patidar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Government College of Dentistry, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jaya","family":"Joshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Government College of Dentistry, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20260420","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1834","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_1037_19","article-title":"Non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma: A review","volume":"9","author":"Parihar","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Fam Med Prim Care"},{"key":"R2-20260420","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1413","DOI":"10.1182\/blood.V89.4.1413","article-title":"Plasmablastic lymphomas of the oral cavity: A new entity associated with the human immunodeficiency virus infection","volume":"89","author":"Delecluse","year":"1997","journal-title":"Blood Adv"},{"key":"R3-20260420","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1354604","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2024.1354604","article-title":"Plasmablastic lymphoma: Current knowledge and future directions","volume":"15","author":"Li","year":"2024","journal-title":"Front Immunol"},{"key":"R4-20260420","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"546","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers16030546","article-title":"Cancer and HIV: The molecular mechanisms of the deadly duo","volume":"16","author":"Omar","year":"2024","journal-title":"Cancers"},{"key":"R5-20260420","first-page":"9742148","article-title":"Advances In Hematology.
