An expanding spectrum of EBV-MTs has emerged in the last decade, associated with an increasing range of organ involvement. EBV-MTs are associated with diagnostic pitfalls, incomplete etiopathogenetic understanding and treatment challenges. This review revisits EBV-MTs in the HIV and AIDS setting. The characteristics of EBV, their etiopathogenetic role in neoplasia, in general and in HIV-associated EBV-MTs in particular, are discussed.
