- An 8-year-old girl diagnosed with classical Hodgkin lymphoma exhibited symptoms like fever, cervical swelling, and ptosis, with imaging revealing extensive disease spread, including intracranial masses.
- After receiving a specific chemotherapy regime followed by radiotherapy, the patient has been disease-free for 44 months, but the rarity of CNS involvement in Hodgkin lymphoma means more research is needed to establish effective treatment guidelines.
Methotrexate-induced neurotoxicity is a well-defined side-effect of high-dose and intrathecal methotrexate with characteristic clinico-radiological findings and transient nature. Our experience in managing this entity in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL) is reported here. All children with de novo ALLregistered from January 2016 through December 2021 who developed methotrexate-induced neurotoxicity were included.

Methods: Children below 15 years of age with confirmed malignancies, treated at a large tertiary cancer center in India from July 2015 to March 2020 developing any TE were eligible.
Objective: To report the experience with COVID-19 in children with cancer at the largest tertiary-cancer care and referral center in India.
Methods: This study is a single tertiary center experience on COVID-19 in children with cancer and continuation of cancer-directed therapy in them. Children ≤ 15 y on active cancer treatment detected with COVID-19 until September 15, 2020 were prospectively followed up in the study.
