Successful autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for relapsed intravascular lymphomatosis

We describe a case of relapsed intravascular lymphomatosis (IVL) successful ly treated with autologous PBSCT, A 59-year-old Japanese female patient wit h IVL who had achieved CR after six courses of biweekly CHOP therapy develo ped lymphoma. She achieved a second CR after six courses of modified biweek ly CHOP therapy, followed by autologous PBSCH and high-dose chemotherapy (C BDCA, VP-16, MCNU, CY) with PBSCT, There has not been any evidence of recur rence 48 months after PBSCT, Our case suggests that PBSC is acceptable as a source for stem cell rescue in IVL.
