Abstract
Background: Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is an autosomal recessive DNA repair disorder that manifests through increased genomic instability, malignancy, and cellular and humoral immunodeficiencies. The prognosis for NBS patients is poor due to their increased susceptibility to fatal infections and lymphoproliferative malignancies. Currently, there is no specific treatment for NBS, though allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been performed and documented as case series to demonstrate the utility of transplantation.
Methods: A 14-year-old girl with NBS and haploidentical HSCT from her older brother due to recurrent lung infection was referred for liver transplantation (LT) due to liver cirrhosis, hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS), and suspicion of liver malignancy. It was decided to perform LT using the living donor who had previously donated for HSCT.
Results: Living donor left lobe LT was successfully performed from her brother. The patient experienced no complications in the early postoperative period and was discharged on the seventh postoperative day. Pathological examination of extracted liver has shown "intermediate cell carcinoma" in two foci. After 1 year LT, the patient has had an uneventful course in terms of LT complications and infection, with minimal immunosuppression.
Conclusions: NBS patients have an increased prevalence of malignancies, including primary hepatic malignancy, but most are managed medically or with limited resections. Transplantation in these patients can be curative for hepatic malignancy with a favorable safety profile.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
