Primary cutaneous B cell lymphomas (pCBCL) are rare extra-cutaneous non-Hodgkin lymphomas which occur on the trunk as follicle center cell lymphoma or on the leg as large B cell lymphoma. The currently accepted therapy of pCBCL (excision and/or radiotherapy, systemic interleukin 2 and interferon alpha 2a, local injection of cisplatin or multiagent chemotherapy, i.e. CHOP) is insufficient for treatment of multifocal pCBCL and secondary extracutaneous involvement. For this reason, the new synthetic chimeric, monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody Rituximab is an alternative treatment for patients with pCBCL.
PATIENTS/METHODS: Four patients with pCBCL localized to the trunk or head were treated with Rituximab (375 mg/kg weekly for 4-8 weeks, then maintenance therapy every 4 weeks for 6 months).
All 4 patients showed a response (2/4 partial; 2/4 complete). Side effects were minimal.
Rituximab is an alternative immunotherapeutic drug for the treatment of pCBCL. Our initial experience with this new modality are presented and discussed.
原发性皮肤B细胞淋巴瘤(pCBCL)是罕见的皮肤外非霍奇金淋巴瘤,可发生于躯干,表现为滤泡中心细胞淋巴瘤,或发生于腿部,表现为大B细胞淋巴瘤。目前公认的pCBCL治疗方法(切除和/或放疗、全身使用白细胞介素2和干扰素α2a、局部注射顺铂或多药化疗,即CHOP方案)对于治疗多灶性pCBCL和继发性皮肤外受累是不够的。因此,新型合成嵌合单克隆抗CD20抗体利妥昔单抗是pCBCL患者的一种替代治疗方法。
患者/方法:4例局限于躯干或头部的pCBCL患者接受了利妥昔单抗治疗(375mg/kg,每周1次,共4 - 8周,然后每4周进行维持治疗,持续6个月)。
所有4例患者均有反应(2/4部分缓解;2/4完全缓解)。副作用轻微。
利妥昔单抗是治疗pCBCL的一种替代免疫治疗药物。本文介绍并讨论了我们对这种新治疗方式的初步经验。
