Richter syndrome and brain involvement: low-grade lymphoma relapsing as cerebral high-grade lymphoma.

Abstract:

:Richter syndrome (RS) describes the development of high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) from low-grade NHL. RS isolated to the brain is very rare and has a poor prognosis. We describe the cases of high-grade large B-cell diffuse NHL in a 56-year-old male with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and in a 71-year-old female with previously unknown low-grade NHL, both with initial appearance of neurological symptoms. This report extends the literature of central nervous system RS and particularly highlights the importance of a thorough diagnostic evaluation of patients with low-grade NHL presenting with neurological symptoms.

  • Intermediate-dose cyclophosphamide and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor is a valid alternative to high-dose cyclophosphamide for mobilizing peripheral blood CD34+ cells in patients with multiple myeloma.

    abstract::Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) are widely used in the setting of dose-intensive chemotherapies in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Although the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), following chemotherapy or not, is considered the standard growth factor for mobilizing PBSC, the optimal chemotherapeuti...
