    Abstract:
    We report a patient with centroblastic non-Hodgkin's MALT lymphoma of the stomach treated initially with surgery and post-operative chemotherapy and radiotherapy. First relapse was treated with high-dose BEAM chemotherapy and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). Second, systemic relapse was treated with high-dose BU/CY and second PBSCT. Today, the patient is in complete remission at 27+ months. The case indicates a curative potential for high-dose BU/CY chemotherapy as salvage therapy for relapsed high-grade lymphoma after BEAM and autologous PBSCT. This may have implications for the prevention as well as for the management of lymphoma relapse after high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) and autologous PBSCT.
