title: Malignant lymphoma in a renal transplant recipient presenting as a solitary pulmonary nodule.
abstract: Malignant lymphoma is the second most common type of tumor in renal transplant recipients. The commonest site is the central nervous system, which is involved in about 50% of the cases. This report described a 45-year-old female cadaveric renal transplant recipient, who presented with upper respiratory tract infection. Her chest radiograph showed a solitary pulmonary nodule. Open lung biopsy revealed a poorly differentiated malignant lymphoma of the histiocytic type. This case emphasizes the often atypical presentation of lymphoma in immunosuppressed patients.
