Abstract
We report on the use of fludarabine in four patients with splenic lymphoma with villous lymphocytes (SLVL). All four had relapsed after, or failed to respond to, recommended first‐line therapies. In each case fludarabine resulted in a complete clinico‐haematological response with minimal toxicity, which, in the two patients with long‐term follow‐up, proved durable. Fludarabine is effective in the treatment of SLVL and should be considered as both a first‐line therapeutic option as well as salvage therapy in this condition.
