We describe a patient that developed Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD), which presented as interstitial pneumonia. He had received allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia 17 months before, when he developed hypoxemia requiring emergent admission. Chest computed tomography revealed pulmonary interst...

Posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a challenging complication associated with organ transplantation and is usually fatal if untreated. We describe the case of a transplant recipient who presented with rapidly progressive cranial nerve palsies due to PTLD that originated in the sphenoid sinus. In this case, the clinical and radiologic presentation of PTLD mimicked invasiv...

Although rare, gastrointestinal posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) can lead to abdominal pain or gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with a history of solid-organ transplantation. We describe a case of isolated gastrointestinal PTLD in a patient who presented with acute on chronic iron deficiency anemia 26 years after heart transplant. A comprehensive endoscopic evaluation wit...

Hairy-cell leukaemia is a rather uncommon chronic malignant lymphoproliferative disorder accounting for about 2% of all adult leukaemia cases [1]. This clonal B-cell proliferation [2] is characterized by a cellular infiltration of both bone marrow and spleen by large differentiated B cells, often exhibiting hair-like protrusions (hairy cells). We report here the first case of hairy-cell leukaem...

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) describes a heterogenous group of lymphoproliferative diseases, occurring as a result of uncontrolled B cell proliferation in the context of post-transplant immunosuppression. The incidence depends on the type of transplant and immunosuppression used; the median time to onset is shorter for recipients of stem cell transplants (2 months) than th...

BACKGROUND Children undergoing heart transplant are at higher risk of developing post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) than other solid organ recipients. The factors driving that unclear. This study investigated for PTLD in children transplanted 1 2 United Kingdom pediatric cardiac transplantation centers. METHODS All (<18 years, n = 200) our institution over a 16-year period were...

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a potentially fatal complication of solid organ transplantation. The current report presents the case of a 42-year-old male who developed PTLD within the first year following renal transplantation. The disorder manifested as a tumor adjacent to the lower pole of the renal allograft and resulted in urinary obstruction. Durable complete remis...
