Modified chemotherapy without radiation therapy can lead to complete remission with preserved cardiac function in pediatric primary cardiac anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
We report on an 8 year old boy with primary cardiac anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), in whom the diagnosis was challenging and who was treated with modified chemotherapy without radiation therapy according to the ALCL 99 study protocol [1]. Two years and 4 months after completion of therapy the boy is in complete remission with normal cardiac function.
