Fig. 2A 62-year-old man with graft-versus-host disease after hematopoietic
stem cell transplantation. Axial CT images show small bowel wall thickening
affecting ileal loops (arrow, A), healthy right hepatic vein
(arrow, B), and no evidence of periportal edema
(arrow, C).

stem cell transplantation. Pathologic evaluation shows apoptosis and
degenerative changes consistent with graft-versus-host disease.
