Abstract
We describe a case of relapsed intravascular lymphomatosis (IVL) successfully treated with autologous PBSCT. A 59-year-old Japanese female patient with IVL who had achieved CR after six courses of biweekly CHOP therapy developed lymphoma. She achieved a second CR after six courses of modified biweekly CHOP therapy, followed by autologous PBSCH and high-dose chemotherapy (CBDCA, VP-16, MCNU, CY) with PBSCT. There has not been any evidence of recurrence 48 months after PBSCT. Our case suggests that PBSC is acceptable as a source for stem cell rescue in IVL. Bone Marrow Transplantation (2001) 27, 89–91.
