Biliary cast syndrome (BCS) is an unusual complication of liver transplantation (LT). The pathophysiology is not known, and it is thought to develop because of mucosal damage in the bile duct related to obstruction, ischemia, or bacterial infection. It occurs in 2.5–18% of LT patients and is associated with increased graft failure, need for retransplantation, and mortality. Here we report on a case of BCS of late appearance after LT who was successfully treated by endoscopic means.

Lymphocele is a common lymphatic complication in renal transplant recipient. The definition of lymphocele is a lymph-filled extraperitoneal space, with no epithelial lining. This condition may originate from leakage of lymph from unligated iliac vessels lymphatics of the recipient and/or surgical damage of the graft lymphatics during the procurement. The untreated complications may lead to catastrophic consequences. Early diagnosis and treatment of these complications are paramount to prevent graft failure and other significant morbidities to the patients. Here a case is presented in a haplotype renal transplant recipient showed abnormal radiotracer accumulation in the transplant fossa during lymphoscintigraphic evaluation with history of right lower limb swelling.
