This report describes a 28-year-old woman with stage IV Hodgkin’s lymphoma with nodular sclerosis and bone marrow involvement. The patient received four cycles of adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine combination chemotherapy and achieved only partial response. Salvage therapy with cytarabine, cisplatin, and dexamethasone followed by autologous bone marrow transplantation improved control of the disease partially, but the patient ultimately had a relapse. Further options for salvage therapy in stage IV Hodgkin’s lymphoma are discussed, and the patient’s response to these therapies is described.
