Four consecutive patients with testicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who initially achieved a complete response to treatment with standard combination therapy later developed isolated central nervous system (CNS) relapses. At the time of CNS relapse, staging evaluations were negative for lymphoma outside the nervous system in all 4 patients. These patients were treated with high-dose intravenous methotrexate alone, and a complete remission was achieved in all 4 patients.
4例睾丸非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者最初对标准联合治疗取得完全缓解,但随后均出现孤立性中枢神经系统(CNS)复发。在CNS复发时,所有4例患者神经系统外淋巴瘤的分期评估均为阴性。这些患者仅接受了大剂量静脉注射甲氨蝶呤治疗,所有4例患者均实现了完全缓解。
