| Popis: | Blastoid variant of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive and incurable form of B-cell lymphoma. Various chemo-immunotherapy regimens have been used with a limited success. Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is being increasingly recommended in first remission for patients with blastoid variant MCL. Here, we describe the case of a 45-year-old lady suffering from blastoid variant of MCL. Patient was administered R-CHOP and underwent autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). Currently, patient is disease-free and is on a regular follow up for 26 months now. This is an extremely rare case documented in the Indian literature with a long survival post-transplant. |
