title: Malakoplakia After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.
abstract: A 32-year-old woman named A.C. was diagnosed five years ago with stage IIIB nodular sclerosing Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Following initial chemotherapy, she had refractory disease as evidenced by hypermetabolic activity on positron-emission tomography (PET) scan. A.C. was treated with a short course of salvage chemotherapy, stem cell collection, and autologous HSCT about 11 months after initial diagnosis. Her post-transplantation course was complicated by pneumonia and interstitial lung disease secondary to chemotherapy that rapidly improved with high-dose steroids .
