Abstract Pelger-Huët anomaly is a congenital or acquired abnormality of neutrophil nuclear segmentation. The acquired form may be a result of a clonal myeloid malignancy, such as myelodysplastic syndrome, or may be a secondary nonclonal change related to a variety of underlying causes, including infections and medications. We report a case of a 56-year-old man who developed acquired Pelger-Huët anomaly following liver transplantation while on the immunosuppressive agents tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil. These medications have been reported in association with this abnormality, but usually as a single agent or in combination with other drugs. In our case, the Pelger-Huët anomaly may be the result of the combination of these 2 drugs or mycophenolate alone with subsequent desensitization because resolution of the abnormality occurred after a reduction in mycophenolate mofetil dose, and the abnormality did not recur when mycophenolate mofetil was increased to a dose previously associated with Pelger-Huët anomaly during the time that tacrolimus was discontinued.

Herein we present a patient that underwent a liver transplant due to primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and after 9 years developed multiple myeloma. Following the cessation of mycophenolate mofetil and 2 weeks after lenalidomide treatment was started, the patient experienced acute cellular rejection. The patient recovered after treatment with corticosteroids, resumption of mycophenolate mofetil, and cessation of lenalidomide. Lenalidomide-associated allograft rejection has been reported in other organs. However, this is the first case report of liver rejection induced by lenalidomide.
