A 30-YEAR-OLD human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–positive man from Southeast Asia was referred to the Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery for evaluation of neck masses. He had a 1-week history of progressive growth of several tender bilateral neck masses. There was no accompanying fever, night sweats, coughing, weight loss, or odynodysphagia. He reported no recent travel outside the San Francisco (Calif) area, no bird or other animal exposures, no trauma, and was taking no medications.

Physical examination revealed numerous bilateral neck masses (Figure 1). The masses were tender, mobile, and nonfluctuant. The results of the rest of the head and neck examination were within normal limits. The chest roentgenogram revealed no abnormalities. Fine-needle aspiration was performed on one large neck mass. The cytopathologic features are shown in Figure 2 (Papanicolaou stain) and Figure 3 (periodic acid–Schiff stain with digestase).
