| Abstract | Introduction: Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) can occur after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and can affect the skin, gastrointestinal tract, lungs, liver, and vulvovaginal areas. Case Presentation: This case report described a 65-year-old multiparous patient with myelodysplastic syndrome who underwent a matched unrelated donor transplant approximately 3 years before her surgery. After her BMT she developed GVHD. She underwent anterior and posterior repair and uterosacral ligament suspension for stage III post-hysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse. Her postoperative course was complicated by mental status changes, abnormal liver function tests, and increasing abdominal distention. All her post-operative symptoms were resolved with conservative management. Conclusions: This case presentation highlights the potential atypical post-operative course of BMT patients with GVHD. The management of patients with GVHD relies heavily on the early involvement of hematologists. | en |
