Abstract:
A rare case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) that showed transient spontaneous regression (SR) is described. After 6 months of remission, recurrence was noted in the lymph nodes, pleura and the spleen. Although transient improvement was observed following combination chemotherapy, the pleural effusion became refractory to chemotherapy and the patient died 9 months after the relapse.
