Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder.
BACKGROUND Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is increasingly recognized as a serious complication of solid organ transplantation in both children and adults. Factors associated with increased risk of PTLD include mismatch of recipient and donor EBV serologic status (seronegative recipient with seropositive donor), and intensive drug-induced immunosuppression. METHODS AND RESU...
متن کاملPediatric central nervous system posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder.
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder complicates approximately 1% of all renal transplants. The usual site of occurrence is within the abdomen, thorax, allograft, or head and neck. Central nervous system involvement is uncommon but, when present, occurs in isolation, sparing other organ systems. Few articles in the radiology literature have focused on the acute and follow-up central ner...
متن کاملPrimary central nervous system posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders.
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) represent a spectrum ranging from Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-driven polyclonal lymphoid proliferations to EBV+ or EBV- malignant lymphomas. Central nervous system (CNS) PTLDs have not been characterized fully. We reviewed the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features of 12 primary CNS PTLDs to define them more precisely. Patients included 1...

We report a case of an iris tumor with muttonfat keratic precipitates in a young patient after liver transplantation surgery. A 6yearold girl underwent liver transplantation for congenital biliary atresia and was subsequently immunosuppressed with oral cyclosporine. We examined her 5 years after transplantation because of a "white nodule in her left eye," which had been detected by her father o...
متن کاملPosttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder of the central nervous system.
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) involves uncommon, severe complications following the transplantation of solid organs, bone marrow and stem cells. Despite comprising mainly lymphoid proliferations that are predominantly driven by lymphotropic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections, PTLD often displays substantial morphologic heterogeneity that can pose diagnostic challenges.
