A 26-year-old female developed bilateral blindness after a complete remission for ALK-positive ALCL. Initial workup showed neurolymphomatosis involving the bilateral optic nerves. She underwent hematopoietic cell transplantation and she remained in complete remission after 1 year; however her vision never improved. ALCL likely led to destruction of the optic pathway.
