Autoimmune‐Like Hepatitis Following Hepatic Graft‐Versus‐Host Disease in an Allogenic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Recipient

One of the major complications following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the occurrence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The liver is a target organ in both acute and chronic GVHD. Histologically, there are two distinct forms of hepatic involvement by GVHD, namely cholestatic (classical) and hepatic. Autoimmune-like hepatitis has been reported as a late complication of HCT with some considering it to be a variant of hepatic GVHD. However, there are no reports of hepatic form of GVHD and autoimmune-like hepatitis in the same patient post-HCT. Herein, we report a patient who initially developed hepatic GVHD followed by autoimmune-like hepatitis.

Abstract

One of the major complications following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the occurrence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The liver is a target organ in both acute and chronic GVHD. Histologically, there are two distinct forms of hepatic involvement by GVHD, namely cholestatic (classical) and hepatic. Autoimmune-like hepatitis has been reported as a late complication of HCT with some considering it to be a variant of hepatic GVHD. However, there are no reports of hepatic form of GVHD and autoimmune-like hepatitis in the same patient post-HCT. Herein, we report a patient who initially developed hepatic GVHD followed by autoimmune-like hepatitis.
