Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder Following Kidney Transplantation,

Abstract

Posttransplant lymphoproliferative diseases are complications that develop after solid organ transplantation. Primary EBV infection is one of the most important risk factors. After deceased kidney transplantation, we presented a young male patient diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
