Diffuse fasciitis after bone marrow transplantation.

This report describes a patient in whom the clinical, laboratory, and histologic features of diffuse fasciitis with eosinophilia developed several months after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Numerous reports detail the association between diffuse fasciitis and hematologic diseases; a patient in whom diffuse fasciitis developed in the setting of chronic graft-versus-host disease following bone marrow transplantation for acute leukemia is discussed. Treatment of the chronic graft-versus-host disease improved the symptoms of the diffuse fasciitis.
