Summary
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) comprise a heterogeneous category of lymphoid and plasmacytic proliferations occurring as a result of immunosuppression following solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplant [1–5]. PTLDs constitute a spectrum ranging from Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-driven polyclonal proliferations to monoclonal EBV-positive or EBV-negative proliferations indistinguishable from a subset of B-cell lymphomas, T/natural killer (NK)-cell (less often) lymphomas, or classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) (less often) that occur in immunocompetent individuals [1].
