Ki-1 anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a well-described subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with distinctive characteristics from the cytological, immunohistochemical and clinical points of view. One of the clinical behavior characteristic is that it rarely evolves into a leukaemic phase. We report the case of a 72-year-old man in which the appearance of tumor cells in peripheral blood was one of the most revealing information. The patient showed B-symptoms, bicytopenia and bone marrow involvement, together with hepatosplenomegaly and right axilar adenopathy, which after biopsied lead to Ki-1 anaplastic large cell lymphoma's diagnosis (stage IV-B). As far as the treatment and evolution are concerned, we choose a polychemotherapy (ACOP-B) because of the patient's age. Up to now clinical and analitical course is excellent and the patient is now in remission.

Background: CD30 expression is universal in anaplastic large-cell lymphoma and is expressed in some other peripheral T-cell lymphoma subtypes. Incorporation of brentuximab vedotin into initial therapy for people with CD30-positive peripheral T-cell lymphomas prolonged progression-free survival, but there is room for improvement, especially for people with non-anaplastic large-cell lymphoma subtypes.
Methods: We conducted a multicentre, international, single-arm, phase 2 trial to evaluate the safety and activity of CHEP-BV (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, prednisone, brentuximab vedotin, and etoposide) followed by brentuximab vedotin consolidation in patients with CD30-expressing peripheral T-cell lymphomas across five academic centres in the USA and Canada.
