Abstract
We report 3 cases of bronchial carcinoma in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Like the other 13 cases found in the literature, these were characterized by their occurrence in young subjects, their often adenocarcinomatous nature and their abnormally severe course. These clinical features raise the problem of the role played by HIV in the development and, above all, the clinical expression of bronchial carcinoma.
