Hodgkin lymphoma in the central nervous system.

摘要

A 68-year-old man with a 10-year history of HTV, compliant with anti-retrovirals (ARV), presented with neck lymphadenopathy. A diagnosis of mixed cellularity Hodgkin lymphoma was made by biopsy. Staging investigations, including bone marrow aspirate/biopsy, cerebrospinal fluid examination, and PET/CT imaging confirmed stage IA disease. He was treated with 4 cycles of chemotherapy and involved field radiotherapy. Cumulative anthracycline doses previously administered for Kaposi sarcoma obviated the usual chemotherapy program; therefore, chlorambucil, vinblastine, procarbazine, and prednisolone were employed. A complete remission was confirmed with PET/CT.
