Background: The "Gray-Zone Lymphomas" represent histological entities that are interposed between Hodgkin's lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Case report: We report the case of a man diagnosed with a Lymphoma B unclassifiable with intermediate characteristics between Hodgkin's lymphoma and a large cell lymphoma B, with a rare spinal localization. We decided to treat him with Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine, Dacarbazine and anti-CD20 antibody, achieving a complete response. Conclusion: We here discuss histopathologic patterns, and work-up of this pathological entity, and we demonstrated that more intensive therapy do not always correlate with better therapeutic goals, inviting to analyze each case.

We decided to treat him with Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine, Dacarbazine and anti-CD20 antibody, achieving a complete response. Conclusion: We here discuss histopathologic patterns, and work-up of this pathological entity, and we demonstrated that more intensive therapy do not always correlate with better therapeutic goals, inviting to analyze each case.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
