Popis: Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare aggressive B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. HIV-negative PBL has not been extensively reported. Nine HIV-negative PBL patients evaluated at Moffitt Cancer Center were studied. Eight patients had extranodal diseases. All patients were treated with CHOP or hyper-CVAD. Responses were observed in 8 cases (7 complete, 1 partial responses). Four patients underwent consolidation with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in first complete remission (CR1). At median follow-up of 23.9 months, 7 patients were alive and 5 were disease-free. Aggressive induction chemotherapy and consolidation with autologous HSCT in CR1 might be considered for patients with HIV-negative PBL.
