  • Title: Upper airway obstruction and pulmonary abnormalities due to lymphoproliferative disease following bone marrow transplantation in children.
    Author: Fletcher BD, Heslop HE, Kaste SC, Bodner S.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 1998 Jul; 28(7):492-6. PubMed ID: 9662565.
    Abstract:
    We report three patients who developed severe supraglottic airway obstruction due to Epstein-Barr virus lymphoproliferative disease following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. In addition to enlarged pharyngeal lymphoid tissue seen in all three patients, two had supraglottic airway narrowing and two developed pulmonary lymphoproliferative disease. They were treated with unmanipulated T cells or EBV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Life-threatening upper airway obstruction is a radiologically detectable complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in children.
