Hepatomegaly in a patient with a history of acute myeloid leukemia
In February 2018, a 30-year-old man was referred to the outpatient clinic for recent hepatomegaly. He had a history of acute myeloid leukemia in 2009, treated with cytarabine and doxorubicin, followed a few months later by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The conditioning regimen included cyclophosphamide and busulfan. The post-transplant course was uneventful. In 2010, the patient developed graft-versus-host disease of the skin and liver, which was rapidly responsive to corticosteroids and cyclosporine.
