Excerpt

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a rare complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), characterized by multiple gas accumulation within the bowel wall. PCI usually occurs in association with acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and immunosuppressive medication during the early post-transplantation period [13]. Herein, we report a rare case of very late-onset PCI associated with severe late-onset non-infectious pulmonary complications (LONIPCs) after unrelated bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The potential association between PCI and LONIPCs is discussed. …
