Full-term pregnancy after allogeneic transplantation for leukemia in a patient with oligomenorrhea.
A 21-year-old patient had a normal full-term delivery 3 1/2 years after bone marrow transplantation for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. She had oligomenorrhea both before and after transplantation. This case illustrates that normal pregnancy is possible after regimens incorporating total body irradiation and that patients should be counselled accordingly.
