Primary involvement of allografted liver in post-transplant lymphoprolif-erative disorders, report of two pediatric cases and review of the literature

Abstract

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder is a lymphocyte proliferating disease, usually of B cell origin, and rarely of T cell. Involvement of liver itself in liver transplant recipients as the primary organ is not common. Herein we report our experience in two patients who primarily presented in the allografted liver, both of whom were promptly diagnosed after liver biopsy and treated successfully.Now after a few months; both of the patients are alive with normal liver function tests and negative imaging studies. © 2012, Iranian Red Crescent Medical Journal; Published by Kowsar Corp.
