The clinical characteristics of 31 patients (pts.) (17 boys, 14 girls, median age 12 11/12 years) with large cell anaplastic lymphoma (LCAL) have been evaluated. 17 of these pts. had originally been diagnosed as suffering from "malignant histiocytosis" ("MH") and were therefore included in the DAL-Histiocytosis X 83 study. Another 14 pts. with Ki-1 lymphomas were enrolled in the BFM-NHL therapy studies. According to Murphyclassification 24 pts. (77%) had stage III or IV disease and in general presented in a severe condition. The lymphatic system was involved in 28 pts., 8 pts. (26%) had skin infiltration. With regard to lymphoma involvement of lung, bones and bone-marrow were unexpectedly frequent. CNS involvement was seen in just one pt. Despite rather heterogeneous therapy approaches (ALL-schedules, DAL-HX 83 protocol for treatment of "MH", combination of B-NHL-BFM and AML-BFM schedules, CHOP, BFM protocols for B-NHL) 30 out of 31 pts. achieved clinical remission (CR). The only nonresponder died during bone marrow transplantation of septicemia. 4 pts. relapsed during therapy. 3 of them died, 1 during a BMT. 1 pt. achieved 2nd CR with a BFM-B-NHL protocol. 3 pts. experienced a late relapse, 1 died, 1 2nd CR was achieved, the third pt. is still alive after 2 further relapses disease-free for 3 years. 23 pts. (74%, 13 out of 14 of BFM-NHL therapy study, 10 out of 17 of DAL-HX 83 study, 1 pt. after BMT) are in 1st CR with a median observation time of 2 9/12 years (range 5/12 to 17 9/12 years).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We report on a 16 year old girl with relapsed Ki-1 lymphoma and a very poor prognosis. The initial manifestation was multiple bone metastases and lymphadenopathy. The patient achieved remission with modified adriamycin, bleomycin, vincristine, daunomycine therapy. However, 14 months after the completion of therapy, relapse occurred in a new cervical lymph node on the left side. After preparation with chemotherapy and total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) the patient underwent autologous bone marrow transplantation (A-BMT). Ki-1 lymphoma shows clinically diverse symptoms, but hematopoietic stem cell transplantation should be performed in relapsed cases. It may be effective to give TLI followed by A-BMT for patients such as ours who have lymph node involvement without bone marrow metastasis.
