Abstract

Gray zone lymphoma (GZL) is a rare type of B-cell lymphoma characterized by features of both diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). The prognosis of GZL is poorer than that of cHL and mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma. However, an optimal treatment strategy for relapsed/refractory (R/R) GZL has not been established in the clinical setting. The current study reported an excellent clinical response in a patient with R/R CD30-positive GZL who received brentuximab vedotin (BV) maintenance after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Although the patient was resistant to prior treatments, BV maintenance after ASCT achieved long-term remission. Hence, BV was determined to be a safe and effective therapeutic option for CD30-positive R/R GZL.
