Abstract

Pediatric B-lymphoblastic lymphoma is an uncommon subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Studies regarding the biology, clinical course, and approach to relapse are limited. We present a series of children with B-lymphoblastic lymphoma to describe the clinical course at diagnosis and relapse as well as the role of tumor cytogenetics, immunotherapy, and hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The prognostic significance of cytogenetic changes in B-lymphoblastic lymphoma is not well described but may offer improved risk stratification. Immunotherapy may offer salvage options for relapsed disease and can serve as a bridge to transplant.
