Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBCL) with sclerosis has recently been recognized as a specific clinical and pathologic entity for which the best therapeutic approach seems to be a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. ⋯ In patients with PMLBCL with sclerosis, combined modality treatment using the MACOP-B chemotherapy regimen and radiation therapy induces a good remission rate with the patients having a greater than 90% chance of surviving disease-free at 9 years. Radiotherapy often plays a pivotal role in obtaining CR status.
