Abstract
26 AIDS patients within a period of 3 years were studied for associated malignant disease. There were 4 associated malignancy. The commonest AIDS associated malignant disease found is Kaposi's sarcoma seen in 2 patients. In one each of the AIDS patients, association of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and acute Promyelocytic leukemia (M3) was found. Findings by other workers are reviewed. With new trends in management of AIDS patients that prolong their survival, an increase in the incidence of AIDS associated malignancy is anticipated.
