Veno‐occlusive disease (VOD) of the liver is mainly described after chemo‐irradiation conditioning regimens during haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) and has been sporadically reported after kidney and liver transplantation. In the latter cases, it is commonly attributed to azathioprine and/or tacrolimus. One case of tacrolimus‐induced hepatic VOD developing after lung transplantation (LT) has been recently reported. Here we describe another case of VOD occurring after LT, but in which the causative role was played by azathioprine .
