Chest computed tomographic imaging.. A computed tomographic (CT) scan shows normal lungs before chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (A). A CT scan shows bilateral irregular pleuroparenchymal thickening 8 years after the transplantation (B). A CT scan shows progression of bilateral pleuroparenchymal thickening and subpleural elastotic fibrosis accompanied by traction bronchiectasis, and a loss of lung volume predominantly in the upper lobes at admission to the hospital 11 years after the transplantation (C).

A chest computed tomographic (CT) scan before transplantation was normal (Fig. 1A). Eight years after the transplantation, a chest CT scan showed bilateral irregular pleuroparenchymal thickening (Fig. 1B). At this admission 11 years after the transplantation, a chest CT showed progression of bilateral pleuroparenchymal thickening with traction bronchiectasis and loss of the lung volume, which was most marked in the upper lobes (Fig. 1C).
