Successful treatment with lenalidomide for relapsed adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma after cord blood cell transplantation.

ABSTRACT: The prognosis for relapsed adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is poor. Here, we report the case of a 67-year-old man who survived for 26 months after treatment with lenalidomide for post-transplant relapsed ATL. He underwent induction therapy with two cycles of modified VCAP-AMP-VECP and achieved complete remission. He received cord blood cell transplantation following a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen. Seven months after transplantation, swelling of the systemic lymph nodes appeared, and relapsed ATL was diagnosed based on a biopsy of the cervical lymph node. Treatment with 10 mg of lenalidomide induced partial remission. At 18 months after transplantation, skin tumors were successfully treated by increasing the dose of len
