Neuroblastoma in a renal transplanted child.
A 3-year-old boy was diagnosed with neuroblastoma 2 years after a renal transplant that was complicated by acute and chronic rejection. Extensive immunosuppressive therapy may have contributed to the development or progression of this tumor which has not been described previously following organ transplantation.
