A 30-year-old woman developed severe liver dysfunction 1 year after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from an HLA-identical sibling donor for B lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) during the tapering of cyclosporin A. The histologic picture resembled autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), although neither autoantibody nor hypergammaglobulinemia was detected. She entered hepatic coma, and underwent living donor liver transplantation from the same donor on day 421 after BMT. She is well 18 months after the procedure, showing normal liver function and hematopoiesis. AIH-like hepatic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has not been documented. This patient is the second case of living donor liver transplantation for hepatic GVHD from the same donor.
