Core Tip	The primary finding presented in this case report is that there is that the cessation of immunosuppressant therapy may promote liver fibrosis in patients after liver transplantation, even though normal liver function is maintained. In addition, the alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA)-positive area increased during the pre-fibrotic stage. Therefore, α-SMA may serve as a useful marker to detect early stage fibrosis.
