Marked impairment of the cellular immune system predisposes renal transplant recipients to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated clinical syndromes. This can culminate in post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) and malignant lymphomas. An unusual PTLD in a 59-year-old renal transplant recipient is reported here. Sonography and CT scan revealed a hypovascular infiltrating tumor mass in the lower pole of the graft which on histopathologic examination revealed a monotonous lymphoid proliferation. T-cell receptor and immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement as well as immunohistochemical analyses demonstrated a polyclonal origin of atypical lymphatic T- and B-cells. The Epstein-Barr viral genome was detected in the mass by Southern blot analysis, and a primary EBV infection was confirmed by serologic studies. Clinical follow-up showed a tumor-free course till the patient's sudden cardiac death 14 months after the operation.

D008228 Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Any of a group of malignant tumors of lymphoid tissue that differ from HODGKIN DISEASE, being more heterogeneous with respect to malignant cell lineage, clinical course, prognosis, and therapy. The only common feature among these tumors is the absence of giant REED-STERNBERG CELLS, a characteristic of Hodgkin's disease.
