A 31-year-oid woman was diagnosed with intestinal lymphoma thigh-grade muco
sa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, stage (IIE) in September 1996. Elev
en courses of chemotherapy were administered. but the results were poor. Sh
e received autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) in
September 1997. Leukocytosis was noted, and chronic myelogenous leukemia w
as diagnosed 8 months after the PBSCT. progressing to blast phase 10 months
later. We report this case because secondary chronic myelogenous leukemia
after stem cell transplantation is rare. (C) 2001 The Japanese Society of H
