Abstract:
Heterogeneous lymphoproliferative disorders occurring in the post-transplant setting are considered together as post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders and can rarely present as primary cutaneous lesions. These disorders are often Epstein-Barr virus-driven and in some cases need only be treated with reduction in immune suppressive medications. We present two cases of monomorphic post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, a plasmablastic lymphoma and a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and summarise common reported clinical and histopathological features.
