A 22-year-old female with diffuse mixed T cell lymphoma in second complete remission underwent allogeneic BMT from her HLA-compatible brother. Transplantation was complicated by acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, and combined hepatotoxic/cholestatic liver disease 45 days post-BMT.
