We present the case of a 68 year old woman with multiple myeloma, who developed mild persistent upper and lower gastrointestinal symptoms, together with a rash and abnormal liver function tests, in the early phase post-autologous stem cell transplantation. Pathology findings were compatible with graft-versus-host disease. Local treatment with corticosteroids resulted in a durable remission of the autologous graft-versus-host disease. A literature review reveals an incidence of mild gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease in 13% of patients after autologous stem cell transplantation. Severe fatal autologous graft-versus-host disease has rarely been reported, and solely in multiple myeloma patients. In this article we discuss incidence, pathophysiology, outcome and treatment of these entities.

The guidelines on the current state-of-the-art in the diagnosis and treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes of the Belgian Hematological Society working group on myelodysplastic syndromes were published in 2013.1 The key points of these guidelines are presented in two issues of the Belgian Journal of Hematology. In this paper we present the optimal treatment of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes within the current limitations of Belgian reimbursement modalities.
