 AB    We present the case of a patient with positive antibodies against the
       human immunodeficiency virus, erroneously diagnosed, on the basis of
       conventional radiology and clinical signs, as right maxillary sinusitis.
       CT showed a tumoral mass at the maxillary sinus, with histology of
       highly malignant Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). The chemotherapy (CHOP)
       resulted in clinical remission, but the appearance of acute
       myelodepression forced the staggering of cycles, resulting in recurrency
       of the disease. The addition of G-CSF allowed to continue chemotherapy
       at full doses, again with positive responses. The lymphoma located at
       the maxillary sinus is extremely rare in patients with AIDS.
       Chemotherapy is complicated by myelodepression and the frequent
       development of opportunistic infections. The use of stimulant factors of
       the hematopoietic growth facilitates the management of AIDS-associated
       neoplasias.
