Adult T‐cell lymphoma is an aggressive and poor prognosis HTLV1‐associated lymphoma. There is no standard treatment, but it is known that intensive chemotherapy regimens are necessary, with or without concomitant antiretroviral therapy, plus consolidation with allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Our case report shows a favorable outcome after 2 cycles of chemotherapy and allogeneic stem cell transplantation without antiretroviral agents, achieving complete remission, and a negative proviral load.
