Despite cutaneous B-cell lymphoma often having a relatively indolent course and low mortality, it is often resistant to conventional therapy and frequently relapses. We describe a patient with widespread cutaneous B-cell lymphoma who was treated successfully with a recently approved chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against the CD20 antigen (rituximab) and the CD20-negative relapse that resulted.
尽管皮肤B细胞淋巴瘤通常病程相对惰性且死亡率低,但它往往对传统疗法耐药且频繁复发。我们描述了一名患有广泛皮肤B细胞淋巴瘤的患者,该患者用一种最近获批的针对CD20抗原的嵌合单克隆抗体(利妥昔单抗)成功治疗,以及随后出现的CD20阴性复发情况。
