Abstract

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is one of the most common and serious complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). About 45%∼83% of patients develop GVHD in the oral cavity. There has no medical records of oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) induced by GVHD after allo-HSCT, which should be brought to the attention of dentists.

Keywords: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT); Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD); Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF).
