ABSTRACT
Relapsed and refractory ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) has a poor prognosis. In this report, we present 3 relapsed/refractory pediatric ALCL patients, 1 of these with central nervous system involvement. All 3 patients were treated with ALK inhibitor and achieved complete response. Both crizotinib and alectinib have shown significant activity in pediatric patients with refractory ALK-positive ALCL.
