Pulmonary complications are among the most frequently encountered sequelae of pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Non‐infectious complications are becoming increasingly more common in this unique population. This review addresses the diagnosis and management of non‐infectious manifestations of lung disease in pediatric HSCT patients and briefly discusses the long‐term pulmonary function of childhood HSCT survivors.
