ABSTRACT
The study presents the case of a 25-year-old patient with the diagnosis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma treated autologously with haematopoietic stem cells transplantation. During the period of aplasia after chemotherapy severe sore lips, mouth and esophagus herpes simplex mucositis developed and is successfully treated with foscarnet. The clinical course, localized causal and symptomatic treatment, along with the therapy imaging, are presented.
