This complication is uncommon after HDT for autologous SCT (ASCT) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Here we report on a 54 years male with MM developed VOD on day 16 of transplant. The Patient was died due to multi-organ failure. The present case suggests that after HDT for ASCT in patients with MM can complicated with VOD.
