title: Autologous transplantation of G-CSF mobilized bone marrow cells in a child with disseminated fibrosarcoma.
abstract: We report a very rapid engraftment after reinfusion of bone marrow cells derived from 'G-CSF-primed bone marrow' in a small child. As the hemopoietic recovery was equal to that seen after PBSCT, we suggest that the use of 'mobilized bone marrow' is a good alternative for PBSCT in children if contraindications to the collection of PBSCT are present.
