dc.description.abstractNon-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders with varying patterns of behavior and treatment responses. Advances in understanding of tumor biology have made it possible to exploit novel treatment strategies such as monoclonal antibodies and their conjugation with radioimmunotherapy was recommended in patients with first relapse of low-grade lymphomas such as follicular lymphoma after rituximab containing chemotherapy. Treatment with radioimmunotherapy such as yttrium-90-ibritumomab-tiuxetan utilizes a monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody to deliver beta-emitting yttium-90 to the malignant B-cells. Clinical trials have demonstrated its efficacy, which is largely independent of the intrinsic activity of the anti-CD20 antibody. Relapses of nodal lymphomas usually occur in extra lymphoid areas. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement develops in less than 1% of patients with lymphomas. Herein, we are presenting a rare case of CNS involvement of follicular lymphoma in a patient who has achieved systemic complete remission after yttrium-90-ibritumomab treatment.
