Abstract
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is an uncommon complication of immunosuppression after solid organ transplantation. Early PTLD (1 year after transplantation) does not have such a preference. 18-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18FDG PET-CT) has clinical significance in the evaluation of PTLD.18FDG PET-CT scan allows precise anatomic localization of FDG-avid lesions, hence helpful in staging of disease and evaluation of response to therapy. It can better characterize persistent lesions and differentiate residual tumor from fibrosis or necrosis. We present a rare case report of a perigraft PTLD developing 12 years after renal transplantation sparing the graft, in an Epstein–Barr virus-negative patient.
