Durable Complete Response of Primary CNS Lymphoma in an 80-Year-Old Patient with Retroviral Infection.
Connecticut Medicine 2017 April
People aging with human immunodeficiencyvirus (HIV) present a unique set of challenges for their providers. Cardiovascular, metabolic, neurodegenerative, and renal disorders, and certain cancers are more common in this cohort, which is attributed to elevated rates of inflammation. Although survival remains compromised, integration of efficacious antiretrovirals and high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) was shown to improve clinical results in HIV-infected patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). However, optimal management of PCNSL in the elderly is not known. We present the case of an 80-year-old patientwith HIV-associated PCNSL who achieved a durable complete response with HD-MTX andrituximab. He remains in complete remission 18 months after the diagnosis. Our case supports using the HD-MTX/rituximab combination in the very old subjects with HIV-related PCNSL.
