Graft versus host disease in lung transplant patient for cystic fibrosis

Discussion:

Graft vs host disease

  • the allogeneic lung transplant's T cells attack the histo-incompatible, immunocompromised host
  • severe intestinal inflammation, abdominal pain, diarrhea
  • sloughed mucosa may cause enhancing granulation tissue, in dilated fluid-filled bowel loops

Cystic fibrosis

  • total fatty replacement of the pancreatic parenchyma, due to exocrine disease.
  • pulmonary disease, necessitated the lung transplant in this patient

Ovarian teratoma (incidental finding)

  • benign well differentiated congenital tumor, with ectodermal, endodermal and/or mesodermal elements
