ABSTRACT
A patient with refractory Hodgkin's disease whose persistent, dense marrow infiltration precluded autologous marrow harvest underwent peripheral blood stem cell harvest followed by intensive chemotherapy and re-infusion of the peripheral blood stem cells. Complete remission was followed by relapse 6 months later and death 13 months post-transplant. However, at no time post-transplant was evidence of marrow recurrence demonstrated. This case indicates that remission can be achieved using peripheral blood stem cell transplants despite persistent marrow involvement with Hodgkin's disease.
