(t-AML).1 The prognosis of t-AML is poor and the treatment with the highest potential for cure is allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (Allo-HCT).2, 3 We report the first case of

Allo-HCT for t-AML that developed after liver transplantation (LTX) from the identical donor. Currently, published reports include cases of sibling Allo-HCT after unrelated cadaveric LTX for

aplastic anemia,7 matched unrelated Allo-HCT after cadaveric LTX in a patient with hyperimmunoglobulin M syndrome,8 combined transplantation of BM and liver from a cadaveric donor for liver

infections have to be monitored carefully based on the profound immune defect in this situation. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access
