摘要
We report a case of matched unrelated bone marrow transplant (BMT) in a morbidly obese patient with acute myeloblastic leukaemia. The challenges presented in the management of this case included the calculation of chemotherapy and radiotherapy doses and the acute presentation of obstructive sleep apnea. Despite these difficulties, an ultimately successful outcome was obtained, indicating that although associated with increased risk of peri-transplant morbidity, obesity need not represent a contraindication to BMT.
