The Use of R-Hyper-CVAD in a Rare Case of Primary Bone Marrow Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Abstract

Primary bone marrow lymphoma (PBML) is a rare clinical entity. Because of its rarity, there is no standard therapy defined. Prognosis in this disease is poor, and further studies for effective treatments are needed. In this report, we will discuss a patient with PBML who was treated with a hyper-fractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone alternating with methotrexate and cytarabine (hyper-CVAD) plus rituximab regimen with a favorable outcome. We believe this is the first reported use of this regimen in this type of lymphoma.
