A 65-year-old man was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma, stage IVB, in 2003. He was treated with combination chemotherapy followed by upfront consoli- dative high-dose chemotherapy and autologous hemato- poietic stem cell transplantation. A complete remission was achieved in 2004. Ten years later the disease re- lapsed with peripheral blood and bone marrow involve- ment. A thoracic and abdominal CT (computed tomogra- phy) scan showed multiple enlarged axillary, mesenterial and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. |
