RESUMEN
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) of the liver is a complication of chemotherapy most often encountered with hematopoietic stem cell transplant due to high-dose conditioning regimens, but it can also occur with regimens outside of the transplant setting. Mild-to-moderate SOS is a well-described 6-thioguanine toxicity; however, it has rarely been reported as secondary to 6-mercaptopurine, a related thiopurine. This report details a case of a 10-year-old male with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed severe SOS during maintenance therapy with 6-mercaptopurine, and a review of the related literature.
