title: Endothelial chimerism in chronic sclerotic-type chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and GVHD-associated angiomatosis.
abstract: Graft-versus-host disease-associated angiomatosis (GVHD-AA) is an uncommon manifestation of chronic GVHD consisting of friable vascular proliferations. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization, we demonstrate the presence of donor-derived endothelial cells within areas of GVHD-AA. This is the first documented occurrence of a benign neoplastic growth in relationship to a form of chronic GVHD.
