A Rare Case of Refractory Nodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma in a Child, Successfully Cured by Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant: A Case Report
Very few cases have been reported for aggressive NMZL children. The tumor was refractory to first line chemotherapy. However, the successful outcome was achieved by allogeneic stem cell transplant with myeloablative conditioning chemotherapy. The significance of this particular case is that this is the first reported case from pediatrics for refractory NMZL, which responded well to allogeneic stem cell transplant.
