title: Enhancing brain lesions in a renal transplant patient.
abstract: Neurologists should be familiar with the spectrum of central nervous system (CNS) pathology that renal transplants patients are prone to. We are presenting a case of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder of the CNS to highlight less commonly described imaging findings and review this disease entity.
