High-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation in primary lymphomatoid granulomatosis of the central nervous system.

Primary lymphomatoid granulomatosis of the CNS (CNS-LG) is a rare lymphoid neoplasia associated Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and often accompanied by immunodeficiencies. No treatment standards have been defined yet. However, due to often devastating neurologic sequelae and based on similarities to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, curative treatment requires intensive therapy protocols resembling protocols applied in CNS lymphoma. Here, the clinical courses and treatments of four primary CNS-LG patients in analogy to aggressive CNS-lymphomas including methotrexate, thiotepa, cytarabine, carmustine, and rituximab are presented. This is the first report on high-dose chemotherapy with CNS-directed drugs and autologous blood stem cell transplantation in primary CNS-LG.
