Post transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder is
a lymphoid/plasmacytic proliferation that develops as a consequence of
immunosuppression in a recipient of a solid organ/bone marrow/stem cell
allograft. The incidence reported in literature in post liver transplant
patients is 1% - 2%. This case was of a 16-year-old boy who underwent
liver transplantation for fulminant hepatic failure and subsequently
developed PTLD. Morphologically and immunohistochemically, it was
Hodgkin’s lymphoma like PTLD, which was the least common type reported
in literature.
