Summary
Defibrotide effectively treated skin lesions and liver complications in a patient after stem cell transplant, indicating its potential for systemic endothelial protection beyond the liver.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Oncology
- Dermatology
Background:
- Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) can lead to complications like hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS).
- Cutaneous manifestations of transplant-associated endothelial injury are not well-characterized.
- Philadelphia chromosome-negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph- B-ALL) is a challenging diagnosis, especially in relapse.
