We report a case of sustained disease-free survival following second autologous marrow transplantation (BMT) in a patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma which had recurred following several conventional chemotherapy regimens as well as a prior autologous transplant. The initial autologous BMT was performed in fourth complete remission and followed high-dose cyclophosphamide, etoposide and thiotepa. The disease recurred 8 months later and the patient underwent a second ABMT following conditioning with busulfan and cyclophosphamide 1 year after his first transplant. Aside from slow engraftment, his course was uncomplicated. This patient remains in complete remission more than 4 years and 6 months following the second transplantation. This case demonstrates that second autologous transplantation can result in sustained disease-free survival in individuals with Hodgkin's disease with recurrence following initial transplantation.
