Bone marrow necrosis, albeit an infrequent finding, is usually associated with highly proliferative malignant disorders, such as leukemia, lymphoma, or sickle cell anemia, solid tumor metastasis, and infections. It is also a typical finding in Caisson disease and in divers that developed decompression illness. Herein we report a case of bone marrow necrosis post deep diving in a bone marrow transplant recipient.
