Long-term utilization of immunosuppression in organ transplant recipients leads to decreased immune-mediated tumor surveillance and increased risk of developing malignant tumors. However, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) following living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is rarely reported. The current case report presents a 42-year-old male patient who developed CML 14 months following LDLT. The patient achieved complete hematologic remission and early molecular response at 3 months imatinib treatment and major molecular response at 12 months imatinib treatment. The pathogenesis, risk factors, treatment and prognosis for CML following liver transplantation are unclear. Therefore, further analysis through accumulation of cases will be of great importance to prevent and treat this rare complication following liver transplantation.
器官移植受者长期使用免疫抑制剂会导致免疫介导的肿瘤监测功能下降,患恶性肿瘤的风险增加。然而,活体供肝肝移植(LDLT)后发生慢性髓性白血病(CML)的情况鲜有报道。本病例报告介绍了一名42岁男性患者,他在LDLT后14个月发生了CML。该患者在接受伊马替尼治疗3个月时达到完全血液学缓解和早期分子反应,在接受伊马替尼治疗12个月时达到主要分子反应。肝移植后CML的发病机制、危险因素、治疗及预后尚不清楚。因此,通过积累病例进行进一步分析对于预防和治疗肝移植后这种罕见的并发症至关重要。
