Background  No standard of care is established for plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) and prognosis remains extremely poor, given that patients relapse early after chemotherapy and display resistance to commonly applied cytostatic drugs.    Case presentation  We report a case of nodal, HIV-unrelated PBL in a patient who achieved and maintained a very long lasting complete remission after an intensive therapy consisting consisting of thalidomide plus dexamethasone followed by a consolidation with double autologous stem cell transplantation. Our approach was based on the full application of a standard multiple myeloma treatment and, to the best of our knowledge, it represents the only reported experience so far. This treatment was overall well tolerated.    Conclusions  Multiple myeloma-like treatment may represent a possible alternative to intensive lymphoma-directed therapies.
