Musculocutaneous Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease: MRI Follow-Up of Patients Undergoing Immunosuppressive Therapy

¹ Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Eberhard-Karls-University, Hoppe-Seyler-Strasse 3, 72076 Tübingen, Germany.
² Department of Internal Medicine–Oncology, Eberhard-Karls-University, Tübingen, Germany.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to use MRI and physical examination to assess the evolution of disabling musculocutaneous changes induced by chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy.

CONCLUSION. MRI monitoring appears to yield accurate information about the extent and activity of musculocutaneous abnormalities related to chronic graft-versus-host disease during immunosuppressive therapy.
