Posttransplant Epstein-Barr virus-associated myogenic tumors: case report and review of the literature.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of different types of malignancies. While nonmelanoma skin cancers, lymphomas and Kaposi sarcomas are the most frequently reported malignancies after solid organ transplantation, EBV-associated smooth muscle tumors (EBV-SMT) after transplantation are rare and thus far only 18 cases in kidney recipients have been reported. A case of a 51-year-old kidney transplant recipient diagnosed with EBV-SMT is reported together with a review of the literature.
