An Extra Benefit of Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation in a Patient with Lymphoblastic Lymphoma: Cure of Thalassemia Minor.
b thalassemia minor is frequent in mediterranean countries. It is a benign disorder and does not warrant any therapeutical intervention. We transplanted a 25-year-old Turkish male who was diagnosed as lymphoblastic lymphoma and had b thalassemia minor as well. He received peripheral blood stem cells transplantation from his HLA-identical sibling who was not a carrier of b thalassemia. After the allogeneic transplantation we did not only observe remission of the lymphoblastic lymphoma but also the disappearance of b thalassemia minor.
