Long-term remission after autologous stem-cell transplantation for relapsed histiocytic sarcoma

Curr Oncol. 2012 Aug;19(4):e289-91. doi: 10.3747/co.19.964.

Abstract

Histiocytic sarcoma is diagnosed according to established criteria. However, treatment is controversial: although lymphoma chemotherapy regimens are often used, their impact on the natural history of the disease is unclear. Here, we report a disease-free survival of 2 years after autologous stem-cell transplantation in a patient with relapsed histiocytic sarcoma.

Keywords: Histiocytic sarcoma; chemotherapy; stem-cell transplantation.
