摘要
ITR after BMT in cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia is relatively rare. Treatment for ITR after BMT generally consists of a combination of local irradiation, orchiectomy, and systemic chemotherapy. However, the effectiveness of these modalities has not been established. Both irradiation and systemic chemotherapy including a second transplantation would result in additional toxicity. In this report we describe a boy with ITR 91 months after BMT who has remained in complete remission more than two yr after a unilateral orchiectomy. We did not treat this patient with systemic chemotherapy, as his ITR developed very late. Our experience suggests that orchiectomy alone is a reasonable option for very late ITR after BMT.
