A 37-yr-old white man experienced crampy abdominal pain beginning 21 days after successful bone marrow transplantation for chronic myelogenous leukemia. Generalized edema and

. At laparotomy, an edematous segment of jejunum was resected. Pathological examination showed submucosal vasculitis and necrotizing enteritis. Serum protein and albumin levels returned to normal within a few weeks after surgery. Vasculitis of the gastrointestinal tract should be considered in the differential diagnosis of protein-losing enteropathy after bone marrow transplantation.
