Abstract
- Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the commonest secondary cancer following bone marrow transplantation (BMT). We report the case of a 42-year-old man who developed a laryngeal high-grade B-cell lymphoma 5 years following a matched T depleted BMT for CML. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis using the microsatellite marker Cyp 19 demonstrated the donor origin of involved tissue. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genomic sequences were identified by PCR. Although EBV related B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (BLPD) post BMT are difficult to treat, there was a complete remission in this patient following three courses of chemotherapy (CHOP) administered with G-CSF. This case of late-onset BLPD appears clinically distinct from the well-defined, aggressive, early post-transplant BLPD.
