Abstract
A 32-year-old woman with bilateral hip chondrolysis diagnosed 2 years following allogeneic liver transplantation is described. Severe osteoarthritis was demonstrated on physical examination, serial radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging. Only four cases of chondrolysis in solid organ recipients have been described in the literature.
