DONOR SKIN ALLOGRAFT SURVIVAL AFTER BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION: CASE REPORT AND SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

we present a case of skin allograft survival in a patient who previously received a bone marrow transplant from the same HLA-matched donor. DNA fingerprinting of skin biopsies showed mixed cellularity originating from the donor and recipient (68% and 32% donor DNA in the allograft skin and the native recipient's skin, respectively). Histologic sections demonstrated both grade 3/4 rejection and graft-versus-host- disease. We have conducted a systematic review in search for other cases of donor skin allograft survival after a bone marrow or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
