ABSTRACT
Lymphomatous polyposis is a rare primary gastrointestinal lymphoma. It morphologically and immunohistochemically resembles mantle cell lymphoma, with which it shares a disappointing response rate and duration following conventional anthracyclin-containing combination chemotherapy, with a short median survival and virtually no long-term survivors. We report the use of high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation in second partial remission in three patients with lymphomatous polyposis treated at the Royal Marsden Hospital. All patients achieved a complete response, and one patient remains well and disease-free 64 months following transplantation and 76 months after diagnosis.
