Brentuximab Vedotin in Advanced-Stage Mycosis Fungoides/Sézary Syndrome with Low CD30 Expression: Real-World Data from the German Cutaneous Lymphoma Network. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
While response rates were similar, PFS was shorter. These findings suggest that BV remains a potential therapeutic option in this patient population and merits further prospective investigation.

Mogamulizumab plus etoposide in the management of mycosis fungoides with blood involvement: a case report. (PubMed, Ther Adv Hematol)
The patient achieved a partial response with methotrexate but discontinued after ~12 months due to elevated transaminases. Following treatment with bexarotene then gemcitabine, CHOP chemotherapy was initiated in December 2019, but, after a period of partial skin response, the patient relapsed with progression of skin lesions...Disease progression in the skin occurred in December 2020; mogamulizumab was continued, and the patient achieved remission with the addition of etoposide and prednisone in August 2021...In October 2022, the patient was diagnosed with large cell CD30+ transformation, and the therapeutic approach was changed to extracorporeal photopheresis, brentuximab vedotin, and topical steroids. The patient died in February 2023 due to sepsis. Our experience adds to the limited evidence that mogamulizumab may be continued in combination with etoposide following disease progression in patients with MF with blood involvement; however, more research is needed on the efficacy and safety of this approach.

Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-Positive Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Presenting as an Axillary Breast Abscess in a Young Woman: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
The patient received brentuximab vedotin plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and prednisone (BV-CHP) chemotherapy following multidisciplinary review and showed marked improvement. This case illustrates the diagnostic challenge of ALK-positive ALCL presenting as a recurrent axillary abscess. Early recognition and histopathological evaluation of atypical or non-resolving abscesses are essential for timely diagnosis and effective treatment, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Prognostic and immunomodulatory roles of CD30 in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a cell-of-origin- and microenvironment-dependent paradigm. (PubMed, J Clin Exp Hematop)
This understanding provides a strong rationale for COO- and TME-guided therapeutic strategies, such as combining the anti-CD30 antibody-drug conjugate brentuximab vedotin with immunomodulatory agents. This report elucidates the enigma of CD30 and outlines a path towards personalized medicine for DLBCL.

Primary ALK-Negative Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Mimicking Septic Arthritis in a Diabetic Patient: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges. (PubMed, J Vis Exp)
A carefully staged treatment plan was employed, beginning with corticosteroids and etoposide, followed by liposomal mitoxantrone and the CD30-targeted antibody-drug conjugate brentuximab vedotin. The clinical course highlights the necessity of maintaining a high index of suspicion for lymphoma in refractory joint infections and demonstrates that individualized, stepwise therapy can achieve remission even in critically ill patients with aggressive ALCL. These findings provide valuable insights for improving the diagnosis and management of lymphoma cases that mimic infectious diseases.
