title: Post renal transplantation non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: Local experience and review of the literature.
abstract: Among a population of 600 renal transplant patients, only three cases (0.5%) have developed a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, while in the same population, 28 cases (4.6%) have developed a Kaposi's sarcoma. The significant low incidence of lymphoma in the Saudi grafted population must be underlined, particularly because of the very high incidence of this malignancy among either the post-transplant Western population, up to 20% of the cancers, or the Saudi general population where the incidence can reach 15% of malignancies.
