Fulminant hepatitis due to very severe sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS/VOD) after autologous peripheral stem cell transplantation: a case report.
BMC Research Notes 2018 July 4
BACKGROUND: Hepatic veno-occlusive disease, also called sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS/VOD), is a potentially fatal complication of allogeneic or autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. A plethora of transplant and patient-related risk factors predispose to SOS/VOD and should be taken into account for prognosis assessment as well as for adequate therapeutic intervention.
CASE PRESENTATION: We describe the case of a mantle cell lymphoma patient who developed a fulminant hepatitis following oxaliplatin-containing intensive chemotherapy and autologous transplantation. This clinical manifestation was secondary to a very severe SOS/VOD. The patient did not exhibit the usual risk factors and presented a non-classical form with major cytolysis, thus puzzling SOS/VOD diagnosis in this context.
CONCLUSION: SOS has been previously reported after oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy regimens for colorectal cancers, in particular in patients with colorectal liver metastases. We therefore suspected a potential relationship with oxaliplatin-based regimen as a driver of SOS/VOD in a non-susceptible lymphoma patient. With regards to this case, clinicians and especially intensivists should be aware of this atypical presentation.
