T-cell gamma/delta hepatosplenic lymphoma - prolonged remission induced by aggressive first line treatment

Biomed Pap Med Fac Univ Palacky Olomouc Czech Repub. 2005 Dec;149(2):275-6.

Abstract

T-cell gamma/delta hepatosplenic lymphoma is a primary extranodal lymphoma, distinct from other T/LGL lymphomas. The clinical course is aggressive, and despite use of the multiagent chemotherapy and young age of the patients, the median survival is less than 1 year. Curability of this disease is still uncertain. We reported a case of the successful intensive treatment with splenectomy, chemotherapy a first line autologous stem cell transplant. High intensity cytarabine- platinum containing regimen (EDHAP) may overcome primary resistance to conventional alkylating agents.
