Abstract
|
|
|
|
A central nervous system (CNS) relapse is a rare but mostly fatal complication in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). CNS involvement can occur as an isolated event or can be combined with progression of systemic disease. There are limited data on treatment outcomes of patients with DLBCL and secondary CNS involvement. We report the clinical data, treatments, and outcomes of two DLBCL patients with isolated CNS relapses involving the brain parenchyma. Isolated CNS disease involving the brain parenchyma may be potentially treatable as the initial relapse site after complete remission from systemic treatment.
