| Popis: | Chronic graft-versus-host disease is a cellular immune-mediated donor bone marrow versus patient rejection reaction, which is a major cause of morbidity and mortality following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation or stem cell transplantation. Chronic graft-versus-host-disease–related myositis and fasciitis, which have been described as rare complications in patients who develop chronic graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation or stem cell transplantation, can severely impair a patient’s quality of life. This report describes a patient with chronic graft-versus-host-disease–related myositis and fasciitis, and presented with progressive contracture. This report illustrates the imaging features and the role of radiology in the diagnostic process. |
