Response to radiation in chemotherapy-refractory monocytoid B-cell lymphoma: a case report.
A 39-year-old man had monocytoid lymphoma including a large retroperitoneal mass, retrocrural and porta hepatic adenopathy with localized pain, but no B symptoms. The tumor did not respond clinically or radiographically to CHOP or mini-ICE chemotherapy but has responded dramatically to radiotherapy. The patient's disease remains controlled 3 years after treatment. This case documents radioresponsiveness in a chemotherapy-refractory monocytoid lymphoma.
