  ABSTRACT: We present a rare case of a 27-year-old male with newly diagnosed HIV infection who presented with systemic symptoms, generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and multi-organ involvement, ultimately found to have high-grade lymphoma. Notably, despite his advanced clinical presentation, his CD4 count was nearly normal (380 cells/μL), challenging the typical immunopathogenic understanding of HIV-associated lymphomas. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for malignancy even in the setting of relatively preserved immune status in HIV-positive individuals.
