✦ Synopsis

showed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. She developed complete remission after treatment with 6 cycles R-CHOP (rituximab, and reduced doses of cyclophosphamide, vincristin, adriablastin, methylprednisolone). SLE became inactive and her symptoms of vasculitis resolved.

Conclusion:

We are bringing attention to one of the possible late complications of systemic lupus, and also underscoring that treatment with rituximab (+CHOP) was beneficial not only for the lymphoma but the SLE as well.
