Abstract

X-linked centronuclear myopathy (XLCNM) is a rare disease which sometimes is accompanied by extramuscular complications. We report a 15 month old boy with XLCNM and hepatic failure due to peliosis hepatis. Liver transplantation of a full size organ was performed successfully. This is the first report of liver transplantation in a patient with XLCNM and liver hemorrhage due to peliosis hepatis. Patients with XLCNM should undergo a close hepatological monitoring and corresponding treatment.
