OBJECTIVES: * Determine the safety and tolerability of intensive chemotherapy and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in patients with recurrent or refractory AIDS-related lymphoma. * Determine the response and response duration in these patients treated with this regimen. * Determine the effect of this treatment regimen on HIV RNA and CD4 cells in these patients. OUTLINE: Patients receive mobilization chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours followed 2 days later by daily filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SC) until blood counts recover. Patients then undergo leukopheresis to collect CD34+ cells. Patients receive conditioning chemotherapy consisting of oral busulfan every 6 hours on days -7, -6, -5, and -4 for a total of 14 doses and cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days -3 and -2. Patients undergo autologous stem cell infusion on day 0. G-CSF is administered IV or SC daily beginning on day 1 and continuing until blood counts recover. Patients are followed monthly for 1 year and then every 6 months for 2 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 5-25 patients will be accrued for this study.
