Focal posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder at the renal allograft hilum.
OBJECTIVE
This report describes the imaging characteristics of focal posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder.


CONCLUSIONS
Posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder may be limited to the allograft. A focal complex mass in the renal allograft hilum surrounding the main renal blood vessels is a common finding and can be visualized with sonography. MR imaging can help increase diagnostic confidence.
