Pulmonary complications after liver transplantation are common in the postoperative period, becoming less frequent in the subsequent months, and rare after 1 year.

Both patients presented with non-specific interstitial pneumonia patterns, which significantly improved with corticosteroid therapy. Physicians should be aware of such complications and monitor them after liver transplantation.
