ABSTRACT

Two patients who had undergone bone marrow transplantation showed emaciation and a flat thorax. The first patient presented clinically with recurrent pneumothorax and the second with recurrent pulmonary infections. Both patients progressively showed subpleural fibrosis on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). We could perform no biopsy or histopathological examination. There is only one previous report on four similar cases. Although the relationship between postbone marrow transplantation and pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis is still unclear, collecting similar cases is important.
