An Unusual Cause of Pulmonary Nodules After Stem Cell Transplantation.
A man in his 20s with a history of classical Hodgkin's lymphoma was admitted with fever. His original lymphoma diagnosis was made 3 years prior, when he had presented with lymphadenopathy and a mediastinal mass. He had relapsed disease despite chemotherapy and radiation. As a result, he underwent autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant (SCT) 6 months prior to current presentation and subsequently allogeneic SCT 2 months prior for added graft vs tumor effect.
