[Neutropenic enterocolitis after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma - a case report].

Abstract
Here we report a case of a 59-year-old man who developed neutropenic enterocolitis(NE)after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in his second complete remission.Four days after transplantation, the patient suffered from diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and paralytic ileus.Abdominal computerized tomography scan revealed bowel wall thickening consistent with NE.Owing to his poor performance status, only medical management, including antibiotics and bowel rest, was administered, and the patient died 18 days after transplantation.Although NE after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation is a relatively rare complication, it is important to be aware that this condition can occur as one of the early complications in stem cell transplantation.
