ITR
after
BMT
in cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia is relatively rare. Treatment for
ITR
after
BMT
generally consists of a combination of local irradiation, orchiectomy, and systemic chemotherapy. However, the effectiveness of these modalities has not been established. Both irradiation and systemic chemotherapy including a second transplantation would result in additional toxicity. In this report we describe a boy with
ITR
91 months after
BMT
who has remained in complete remission more than two yr after a unilateral orchiectomy. We did not treat this patient with systemic chemotherapy, as his
ITR
developed very late. Our experience suggests that orchiectomy alone is a reasonable option for very late
ITR
after
BMT
.
