Abstract
We report the case of a 58-year-old man with multiple myeloma stage III A who received tandem autologous stem cell transplantation after induction by two courses of VAD and three cycles of bortezomib-dexamethasone, due to progression under chemotherapy. The second transplantation was complicated by severe hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD). The patient received defibrotide with total recovery. The occurence of HVOD after conditioning by melphalan is uncommon and the role of bortezomib was questioned.Entities:
