Abstract:
A 30-year-old male with a past history of nodular lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin's disease in apparent complete remission for two years received a liver transplantation because of fulminant liver failure. Histopathological examination of the explanted liver showed massive infiltration by Hodgkin's disease. In spite of a nodal recurrence of Hodgkin's disease, the patient is alive and in excellent general condition six years after liver transplantation.
