ISOLATED CNS RELAPSE IN HODGKIN LYMPHOMA
Abstract
Abstract :
Central nervous system involvement in
Hodgkin lymphoma is rare. We present a
case report of a 38 year old male with
isolated CNS Hodgkin Lymphoma involving
the cerebellum. There are no guidelines
for management of CNS involvement
in Hodgkin Lymphoma. He was
successfully treated with subtotal excision
of the cerebellar mass, followed by
whole brain radiotherapy, triple intrathecal
chemotherapy and PCV
(Procarbazine, Lomustine and Vincristine)
chemotherapy.
