title: Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder presenting as a tumor adjacent to the renal allograft: A case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a potentially fatal complication of solid organ transplantation. The current report presents the case of a 42-year-old male who developed PTLD within the first year following renal transplantation. The disorder manifested as a tumor adjacent to the lower pole of the renal allograft and resulted in urinary obstruction. Durable complete remission was achieved as a result of surgical resection followed by a reduction in immunosuppression and low-dose rituximab-based chemotherapy, indicating that this therapeutic strategy may be safe and effective for the treatment of specific cases of localized and resectable PTLD.
