As a distinct type of aggressive mature large B ‐cell lymphoma, plasmablastic lymphoma ( PBL ) poses diagnostic and treatment challenges. PBL is distinguished from other B‐cell lymphomas by the presence of plasmacytic differentiation markers such as CD 38, CD 138, and MUM 1. Clinically, PBL s from oral and extra‐oral sites are rapidly progressive tumors with frequent relapse after treatment with standard diffuse large B ‐cell lymphoma regimens. Here, we report a near‐complete response of one patient with relapsed PBL following treatment with a non‐cytotoxic regimen containing bortezomib, rituximab, and dexamethasone.
