Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder Presenting as CD20-Negative Plasmablastic Lymphoma in the Lung

چکیده
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) are a serious complication of transplantation with a high mortality. Most PTLD present within the first year of transplantation and are associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare but aggressive disease originally described in patients with HIV, presenting most commonly in the jaw and oral mucosa. To our knowledge, this is the first case of PBL presenting as PTLD of the lung in a HIV and EBV negative patient. Given the increasing number of transplants performed, we would like to share this uncommon presentation of PTLD as PBL.

Plasmablastic lymphoma following transplantation.
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder is a serious complication following solid organ as well as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation due to prolonged immunosuppressive therapy. Plasmablastic lymphoma, although classically associated with HIV infection, has since been described in transplant patients as a variant of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder with varying clinical pres...

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is an aggressive complication of solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation that arises in up to 20% of transplant recipients. Infection or reactivation of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a ubiquitous human herpesvirus, in combination with chronic immunosuppression are considered as the main predisposing factors, however insight in ...

Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is known to be associated with 3 distinct lymphoproliferative disorders: primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), multicentric Castleman disease (MCD), and MCD-associated plasmablastic lymphoma. We report 3 cases of a previously undescribed KSHV-associated lymphoproliferative disorder. The disease presented as localized lymphadenopathy and showed a favorable...

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...
