Cutaneous involvement of polymorphic post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder in a child after liver transplantation.

ABSTRACT

Post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is one of the most common de novo malignancies in patients who receive immunosuppressive therapy after solid organ transplantation. We report a case of a 5-year-old girl who presented with indurated violaceous skin nodules 3.5 years post-liver transplantation, diagnosed as polymorphic PTLD, also involving Waldeyer's ring, spleen, and multiple lymph nodes. Through reduction of immunosuppression, most of the lesions resolved and the liver allograft was preserved.
