title: The origin of epithelial neoplasms after allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
abstract: We analyzed five women, who have developed epithelial neoplasms after sex-mismatched stem cell transplants. Using in situ hybridization for sex chromosome-specific DNA probes and immunohistochemistry we identified the origin of the tumor cells. We conclude that none of the non-hematologic malignancies was of donor origin.
