AbstractIn the Asia-Pacific region, autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in patients infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) may be complicated by fatal hepatic failure due to viral reactivation. Survivors may suffer from accelerated hepatitis and cirrhosis. We report the first case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after autologous BMT for mediastinal B cell lymphoma. The tumor developed rampantly during a planned pregnancy 5 years after BMT. Less than 40 cases of HCC complicating pregnancy have been reported, and outcome is invariably poor. Immunosuppression and HBV reactivation after autologous BMT, as well as immune tolerance and hormonal changes associated with pregnancy may contribute to the rapid tumor growth. Biochemical and radiological surveillance for HCC should be strengthened in HBV carriers after BMT, especially in patients with the histology of chronic liver disease, or biochemical/virological evidence of increased HBV activity.
