Late onset Epstein–Barr virus-associated lymphoproliferative disease after allogeneic bone marrow transplant presenting as breast masses

Bone Marrow Transplantation volume 21, pages 295–297 (1998)Cite this article

Abstract

We report a patient who developed breast masses 17 months after a T cell-depleted partially mismatched related donor (PMRD) bone marrow transplant (BMT) for chronic myeloid leukemia. The patient had severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and the masses were due to Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) lymphoproliferative disease (LPD). The patient expired from fungal pneumonia after chemotherapy for the EBV-LPD.
