Primary cutaneous post liver transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) successfully treated with radiotherapy.

Primary cutaneous post liver transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) successfully treated with radiotherapy. J Dermatolog Treat. 2017 Jun 12;:1-10 Authors: Murad A, Sheahan K, Kirby B Abstract A post liver transplant patient developed lesions with the clinical features suggestive of SCC-in-situ on his face and chest which occurred simultaneously since six months prior to his presentation. Skin histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of SCC-in-situ with additional plasmalymphocytic infiltrate in the dermis. Immunohistochemistry with his clinical presentation were in keeping with primary cutaneous post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). He did not have any systemic involvement. Lesions were treated with radiotherapy with good response. This rare presentation of cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorder in the context of solid organ transplant is presented.
