Radiologic-pathologic conference of Children's Hospital Boston: liver nodules after heart transplantation.
We report the case of a 16-year-old boy who presented 1(1)/2 years after heart transplantation with multiple lesions throughout the liver as demonstrated by ultrasonography and CT. Results of analyses revealed features diagnostic for post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, which rarely involves the liver.
