Kaposi sarcoma following solid organ transplantation is a rare and underreported complication, with few cases documented globally concerning its origin from liver grafts.This case report describes an Asian woman who developed Kaposi sarcoma in a liver graft following living donor liver transplantation for end-stage liver disease resulting from hepatitis D virus. In accordance with current guidelines, standard immunosuppression was discontinued, and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors were initiated. The use of mTOR inhibitors led to the complete resolution of the liver graft lesions within 9 months. However, subsequent follow-up revealed several complications, including late anastomotic biliary stricture, extensively drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infection, and subtotal hydrothorax. These complications required intensive care unit admission, biliary stenting, oxygen therapy, and pleural drainage. Despite the severity of her condition, the patient fully recovered and showed no signs of recurrence throughout the 64-month follow-up period. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of Kaposi sarcoma in a liver graft with such an extended follow-up.

Background: Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is an effective treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease. This study was performed to evaluate the outcomes of the initial series of LDLT procedures performed in the Republic of Uzbekistan and to demonstrate that liver transplantation is viable under the conditions in this country. Methods: Between October 2021 and December 2023, we performed 40 LDLTs. We evaluated both immediate and long-term outcomes. Results: Thrombosis of the hepatic artery developed in one case (2.5%). Arterial anastomotic stenoses were diagnosed in three cases (7.5%) and were successfully treated with endovascular balloon vasodilation. Splenic artery steal syndrome arose in three patients (7.5%) and was managed with endovascular embolization of the splenic artery.One patient (2.5%) developed portal vein thrombosis. Portal vein stenosis occurred in two patients (5%) at 10 months posttransplantation and was addressed with endovascular balloon angioplasty, yielding good clinical outcomes. Biliary complications were observed in 45% of the cases, with bile leakages accounting for 89% of these issues and strictures of the biliary anastomoses for 11%. The in-hospital mortality rate was 12.5%. Conclusions Our research findings and analysis of complications align with the international literature, and the results are deemed acceptable during this implementation phase of the liver transplantation program. Accordingly, liver transplantation is feasible in the Republic of Uzbekistan; however, improvements in surgical and therapeutic methods are necessary to minimize the development of both early and late postoperative complications.
