PH is a rare condition with high mortality rate after pediatric HSCT . As clinical presentation is non‐specific and may mimic other conditions, a high degree of suspicion is required for diagnosis. Here, we present a patient with stage‐ IV neuroblastoma who developed PAH after autologous HSCT . After exclusion of other causes of PH , we regarded that this condition was secondary to HSCT .
