Renal transplant obstruction by B cell lymphoproliferative disorder: case report and review of the literature.
We report a case of renal transplant ureteral obstruction caused by a cyclosporine-associated B cell lymphoproliferative disorder. The interaction of cyclosporine with Epstein-Barr virus infections and the predisposition towards B cell lymphoproliferative disorders are reviewed. The characterization of these tumors by deoxyribonucleic acid hybridization studies and a review of the clinical experience treating these disorders also are presented.
