Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is generally characterized by a poor prognosis and frequent relapsing disease. Consolidation therapy in the upfront setting usually consists of an autologous stem cell transplantation. We report the case of a 19-year-old Caucasian male who had previously undergone an allogeneic stem cell transplantation with complete engraftment for the treatment of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia when he was 1 year old. He presented with two episodes of (donor-derived) PCNSL from allogeneic stem cells; however, after induction chemotherapy, he failed to harvest stem cells for the consolidation with autologous stem cell transplantation. He was consolidated successfully with a second allogeneic stem cell transplantation with another donor after conditioning with thiotepa, busulfan, and fludarabine.
