Patients were predominantly female (7/9). The average age of our patients was 41 years [33–54]. The average TCD4 lymphocyte count was 263 cells / mm3. Tumor manifestations occurred as a result of a failure of ARV treatment in three cases, as part of an immune restoration syndrome in one case, after viral hepatitis B in three patients, and in two na�ve antiretroviral treatment patients . Four out of nine patients presented tumors not classified as AIDS. Four deaths were recorded, representing a lethality of 44.4%.
