Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), has an aggressive course and in untreated patients median survival is limited to three months. For relapsed PCNSL, the treatment options are few and results are usually unsatisfactory. Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (allo-HCT) has been widely used for treatment of relapsed/refractory NHL patients. However there are limited data whether graft versus lymphoma effect can work in PCNSL patients. Here, we present a relapsed refractory PCNSL case treated by allo-HCT.Entities:
