Late Posttransplant Lymphoproliferative Disease: Report of a Rare Case and Role of Positron Emission Tomography-computed Tomography.
Indian Journal of Nephrology 2018 September
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is an uncommon complication of immunosuppression after solid organ transplantation. Early PTLD (<1 year after transplantation) is frequently found around the allograft, whereas late PTLD (>1 year after transplantation) does not have such a preference. 18-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18 FDG PET-CT) has clinical significance in the evaluation of PTLD. 18 FDG PET-CT scan allows precise anatomic localization of FDG-avid lesions, hence helpful in staging of disease and evaluation of response to therapy. It can better characterize persistent lesions and differentiate residual tumor from fibrosis or necrosis. We present a rare case report of a perigraft PTLD developing 12 years after renal transplantation sparing the graft, in an Epstein-Barr virus-negative patient.
