Abstract

SMTs in patients with AIDS typically arise in multiple and very unusual sites that are not often observed in SMTs among immunocompetent individuals. Our series also suggests association between EBV infection and SMTs in patients with AIDS. The exact role of EBV in smooth-muscle oncogenesis awaits further study.
