Replace values in a pandas df based off values in another column

I am trying to replace values in multiple columns if the value in another column is equal to a specific value. For the df below I want to replace all integers will an empty value if Col A is == ABC

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({          
    'B' : [10,20,30,40,50],
    'A' : ['ABC','DEF','XYZ','ABC','DEF'],          
    'C' : [1,1,1,1,1],              
    })

Output:

    B    A  C
0  10  ABC  1
1  20  DEF  1
2  30  XYZ  1
3  40  ABC  1
4  50  DEF  1

So I want to replace the integers in Col B,C when A is equal to ABC. I have tried this

mask = df.A != 'ABC'
col = ['B','C']
df = df.loc[mask, col].replace('')

But it only selects the values I want to replace. I'm hoping to produce:

    B    A  C
0  10  ABC  1
1      DEF   
2      XYZ   
3  40  ABC  1
4      DEF

Use select_dtypes with np.integer or np.number if want select all numeric columns and then set empty string by condition with loc:

mask = df.A != 'ABC'
#if want select all integer columns
col = df.select_dtypes(np.integer).columns
#if want select columns by names
#col = ['B','C']
df.loc[mask, col] = ''
print (df)
    B    A  C
0  10  ABC  1
1      DEF   
2      XYZ   
3  40  ABC  1
4      DEF

Pandas apply:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({          
    'B' : [10,20,30,40,50],
    'A' : ['ABC','DEF','XYZ','ABC','DEF'],          
    'C' : [1,1,1,1,1],              
    })
print(df.apply(lambda row: [i if isinstance(i,str) else '' for i in row.tolist()] if row['A']!='ABC' else row,axis=1))

Output:

     A   B  C
0  ABC  10  1
1  DEF       
2  XYZ       
3  ABC  40  1
4  DEF

You can use

In [189]: df[['B', 'C']] = df[['B', 'C']].where(df.A.eq('ABC'), '')

In [190]: df
Out[190]:
    B    A  C
0  10  ABC  1
1      DEF
2      XYZ
3  40  ABC  1
4      DEF
