ABSTRACT
Existing on the spectrum of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD), plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a highly aggressive form of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Since its discovery in 1997, fewer than 5 cases of postliver transplantation-associated PBL have been recorded. Despite increased awareness of PTLD and improvement in imaging, PBL often presents with disseminated disease at the time of diagnosis. Treatment usually involves immunosuppression reduction and the use of chemo/immunotherapy, but the prognosis remains poor, with median survival being less than 12 months. We present to you a case of Epstein-Barr virus-negative PBL occurring more than 6 years postliver transplantation.
